Ingredients
-
1 lb extra-large shrimp (not the easy peel! 16-20 per lb)
-
3/4 cup oil
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 cup butter
-
1/2 teaspoon pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon basil
-
1/2 teaspoon tarragon
-
1 cup onion, finely chopped
-
3/4 cup fresh breadcrumb (soft, not dry)
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
-
2 tablespoons sour cream
-
1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Shell and devein shrimp, leave on tail.
- In a 9 x 12 baking dish (this is what you will cook the shrimp in) combine the oil, garlic, salt, 1/4 cup butter and pepper.
- Heat in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Prepare stuffing: mix the basil, tarragon, onion, bread crumbs, 2 T. melted butter, 2 T. sour cream (I don't measure the sour cream too closely - add enough so the stuffing is fairly moist) and a pinch of salt.
- Split shrimp and put a scant teaspoon of stuffing in each.
- Lay in a single layer in the pan (that has oil, melted butter etc in it waiting for the shrimp!).
- Baste with the liquid in the pan.
- Enjoy!
- Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes or so until the shrimp are done.
