This is one of my husband's favorite dishes. It isn't exactly healthy, but it is fabulous. It is a common dish in Louisiana. This recipe feeds a lot of people. You can cut it in half for a family dinner.

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 pounds medium shrimp, with shells
2 pounds butter
1 medium sweet onion, minced

2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
2 tablespoons dried rosemary
