How to make it
- Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Add onion and garlic, cook until translucent -- about 5 minutes.
- Add parsley, oregano, salt, pepper and cayenne -- cook about 2 minutes, until highly fragrant.
- Remove from heat and add cracker crumbs, stir to moisten.
- Stir in wine.
- This concoction should have the consistency of play-dough and should form a ball if you squeeze some in your hand. Add additional wine or cracker crumbs as needed to achieve that sort of consistency.
- Set aside.
- Position oven rack 6 inches below heat source and preheat broiler.
- Butterfly the shrimp.
- Lay butterflied shrimp on ungreased baking sheets with tail sections curing upward.
- Press about 1 T of the cracker mixture on each shrimp -- you'll need to pat it down firmly with your fingertips.
- Broil until topping is firm and golden brown and shrimp are coral pink, about 8 minutes.
- Arrange shrimp on a platter, top with Creole mayonnaise and garnish with lemon wedges.
