Cajun Baked Shrimp

I used this shrimp in place of chicken in my Cajun Chicken Alfredo Recipe and it was outstanding. Shrimp is a very touchy ingredient in my house, some love it and some hate it so I served the shrimp separate from the pasta. Its great for topping your pasta or as I discovered later its ten times better chilled the next day.

Ingredients:

• 1 Stick Butter
• 2 T. Olive Oil
• 1 Lemon (juiced)
• 6 Cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1/2 Yellow Onion (diced)
• 2 t. Salt
• 2 t. Pepper
• 1 T. Cajun Seasoning
• 5 T. Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 t. Tabasco Sauce
• 1/3 C. Beer
• 1 lb. Shrimp (fresh-deveined, shelled and tailless)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. In a small pot melt butter and olive oil together.
3. Whisk in all other ingredients (except shrimp).
4. Simmer together for about 15 min.
5. Lay shrimp out on a lipped cookie sheet or casserole dish.
6. Pour liquid over the shrimp.
7. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.
8. Remove shrimp from pan and place in a bowl with about 1/2 C. of your sauce.
9. You can eat the shrimp on its own or topped on other dishes like my Chicken Cajun Alfredo.
