       Title: Acadian Peppered Shrimp
  Categories: Cajun, Main dish, Fish
       Yield: 4 servings
  
       1 lb Butter
     1/2 c  Lemon juice
       2 t  Fresh basil, chopped
       2 t  Cayenne pepper
       2 t  Fresh oregano, chopped
       5 ea Garlic cloves, minced
       1 ea Bay leaf, crumbled
     1/2 c  Black pepper, finely ground
       1 x  Salt
       4 lb Large raw shrimp in shells
  
   The shrimp should be of a size to number 30-35 per pound. Melt the
   butter in a large deep-sided frying pan or iron skillet over low
   heat. When melted, raise the heat, and add the remaining ingredients
   except the shrimp.  Cook, stirring often, until browned to a rich
   mahogany color, about 10 minutes.  Add the shrimp, stirring and
   turning to coat well with the seasoned butter. Cook until the shrimp
   have turned a rich deep pink, about 10 minutes.  Serve the shrimp in
   their shells, peeling them at the table. From Nathalie Dupree’s “New
   Southern Cooking”
