Texas Style Skillet Scampi

2 pounds headless shrimp with shells (about 40 medium shrimp)
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 cup melted butter
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup melted butter
4 cloves garlic
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 peppercorns
1 teaspoon salt
6 dried chile japones (Japanese peppers)

Rinse the shrimp in cold water and pat them dry with a towel. Combine the parsley, melted butter, and garlic. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet on high. When the oil spits back with water drops (in other words when it pops), it's ready.

Sauté the peppercorns, salt, and japones in the skillet for 1 minute. Add the shrimp, and sauté for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Add the buttery mixture, and continue to cook for 1 more minute. Serves 6 to 8.

Serve on a warm serving platter with some good crusty bread. Have a stack of napkins nearby, and start shelling and dipping the shrimp in the butter sauce.

1 starfruit, sliced 1/4−inch
2 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons rum (optional)
1 tablespoon minced garlic

Ritzy Shrimp

Large shrimp
1 tube Ritz crackers
Butter
Fresh garlic, minced

Split the shrimp through the shell on the rounded part as you would a lobster. Do not remove the shell. After all shrimp are split, pull to separate the meat from the shell (only pull the meat to the tail), then lay them back in the shell.

Lay the opened shrimp on a baking pan and brush with a mixture of fresh garlic and butter. Crush the Ritz crackers finely. Sprinkle the crackers on the buttered shrimp, then pour more garlic butter over them. You may freeze them at this point or place in the refrigerator. Place the pan in a 400 degree F oven, and bake until the crumbs start to brown.
