Provided by Just Cher

Categories     Cajun

Time 42m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs medium shrimp, uncooked peeled and deveined
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
3 -4 cloves garlic (crushed)
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
8 slices French bread, toasted (about 1/2 inch thick)
1/4 cup chopped parsley

  • Spoon shrimp mixture over toasted french bread.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and large shrimp: The freshness of the shrimp will significantly impact the dish's overall flavor. Look for plump and firm shrimp with a shiny, translucent appearance. Larger shrimp are also preferable as they will hold up better during the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: To add color, texture, and flavor to your shrimp bake, incorporate a variety of vegetables. Some popular choices include bell peppers, onions, corn on the cob, potatoes, and zucchini.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Ensure you have enough space in your baking dish for the shrimp and vegetables to cook evenly. Overcrowding the dish will result in steamed rather than baked ingredients.
  • Season generously: Don't be afraid to season your shrimp and vegetables generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will enhance their natural flavors and make the dish more flavorful.
  • Use a flavorful liquid: Adding a flavorful liquid to your shrimp bake, such as white wine, beer, or broth, will create a delicious sauce that will keep the shrimp and vegetables moist and flavorful.
  • Cook until the shrimp is opaque: The shrimp is fully cooked when it turns opaque and pink. Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and rubbery.

Whether you are a seafood lover or simply looking for a new and exciting dish to try, this shrimp bake is sure to impress.
