- Remove the dish from the heat and let the flavors marry at least 30 min. This warm butter sauce can be made a day in advance and refrigerated.
- Preheat the oven to 450F. Reheat the sauce, add in the shrimp, and cook over medium heat till the shrimp just turn pink, then bake in the oven about 30 min more. Taste for seasoning, adding salt if necessary.
- Southern Cooking," "Shrimp taste better when cooked in their shells because the fat under the shells preserves their flavor and tenderness. When the shells are crisp it is a pleasure to eat the shrimp with their shells on. This rich butter sauce cries out to be sopped up with crusty bread once the shrimp are gone."
