1 lb U10 (large) Shrimp
Ritz crackers; one tube
1/4 lb Butter
1 Head Garlic; peeled, minced
Take the shrimp and split them thru the shell as you
would a lobster. That is, split them on the rounded part
of the shell. DO NOT REMOVE shell.
After they have been split pull them so that the meat is
separated from the shell and then lay them back in the
shell. ONLY pull till you reach the tail segments.
REMEMBER you do not want to remove from shell.
Lay all of the opened shrimp on a baking pan and brush
with a mixture of fresh garlic and butter. Take a tube
of Ritz crackers and squeeze them like an accordian
until they are crushed. Sprinkle the crackers on the
buttered shrimp and then pour garlic and butter over
them again.
This may be frozen at this point or placed in the
fridge. Place the pan in a 400°F oven and bake until
the crumbs start to brown. Take from oven and enjoy.
Remind your guests that the shrimp are still laying in
their shells and they should just lift them out.
