Yield Makes 6 to 8 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds uncooked large shrimp, unpeeled
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
1 1/2 cups bottled Italian dressing

  • Use a variety of spices in the marinade: This will give the shrimp a more complex flavor.
  • Bake the shrimp at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the shrimp.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: This is when they will be at their best.

Conclusion:

Spicy Baked Cajun Shrimp is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
