Ingredients

3 lbs fresh Gulf shrimp, rinsed and patted dry (leave shells on to cook)

1/2 - 3/4 cup butter, or butter substitute, or olive or coconut oil

Juice of 2 lemons

1 cup dry white wine

1/4 cup worcestershire sauce (optional)

6 garlic cloves, minced

3 green onions, chopped

Several stalks of fresh thyme (about 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves)

2 tbsp Creole seasoning or Old Bay seasoning

1 tsp black pepper

Several dashes of hot pepper sauce (optional, to taste)

Directions

In a large, heavy pot, heat two tbsp of the butter or oil.

Add the garlic, green onions, and thyme, and cook for a minute, stirring.

Add the remaining butter or oil to the pot.

When the rest of the oil has heated up, add the shrimp and Creole seasoning to the pot and cook for two minutes, stirring.

Add the remaining ingredients to the pot, and lower to medium-low heat.

The shrimp will gradually turn pink as they cook thoroughly.

When all the shrimp are pink, turn the heat to low and allow to cook for another 5 minutes.

Serve the shrimp, along with lots of the extra "juice", in big bowls with warm baguettes for sopping, a green salad with a light vinaigrette, and your favorite wine or iced tea.

Be sure you have lots of napkins on hand, and maybe a few bibs, too!
