1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/4 cup olive oil
8 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
In a large skillet, heat the butter with the oil over medium heat until the butter melts and cook the garlic, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the oregano, thyme, black pepper, cayenne, and paprika and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring so the spices don't burn. Add the Worcestershire and lemon juice and simmer for about 1 minute.

*This recipe can be made ahead of time. At this point, you can let cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to a week. Gently reheat before continuing.

Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until they turn completely pink, about 8 minutes.

Serve garnished with the parsley. These shrimp are best served warm, but you can also serve at room temperature.

Personal Notes:
This spicy dish is terrific to serve over rice or pasta, or as an appetizer. You can make the seasoned butter ahead of time, then toss with the shrimp just before serving. Make sure you have crusty French bread on hand to soak up the sauce.
