Ingredients

• 2 cups butter (4 sticks)
• 2 pounds shrimp, shell on, but deveined
• 6 tablespoons ground black pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon Kosher salt, smoked salt if you have, if not no big
• 6-8 large cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
• Lemons for serving
• Heat oven to broil
• In a large cast iron pan or baking dish, thinly slice and spread out 2 sticks of the butter to cover bottom of pan
• Sprinkle half the pepper over the butter, then put in the shrimp in as much of a single layer as possible, use a couple pans if necessary, season with the salt
• Add the garlic, the paprika, the remaining butter and then the rest of the pepper
• Broil, about 6 to 8 inches away from the heat until shrimp are nicely pink, you don’t need to flip them - this could be anywhere from 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don’t overcook
• Peel, eat, peel eat, peel, eat and serve with lots of warm, crusty bread for dipping and ice cold beers for, well that should be obvious
