This summer I decided every week I would try a new shrimp recipe. Surprisingly I have not run out of delicious shrimp recipes and we aren’t sick of shrimp yet!
One of my hobbies is finding and reading specialty, regional cookbooks. I pick them up from relatives or estate sales. Not so long ago I happened across a nice cookbook from the Junior League of Vicksburg, Ambrosia, and flagged this recipe right away. I’m glad I did because it has been the favorite of the summer.
Swamp Shrimp
1 lb medium, headless shrimp, unpeeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup bottled Italian dressing
2 lemons
seasoned salt
pepper
4 tablespoons butter
Coat bottom of a 9×13 pan with olive oil. Place shrimp in the pan side by side, try not to overlap. Pour Worchestershire sauce, Italian dressing, and the juice of both lemons over shrimp. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and pepper. Slice butter thinly and distribute over shrimp. Broil 18 – 20 minutes.
Serve with French bread and be prepared to fight over the sauce.
The night I served this my husband cleaned up the dishes, he’s sweet like that. He came in afterwards and confessed that he might have cheated on me with the sauce. I can’t say that I blame him. Its just that good.
I so wish I could eat shrimp without a trip to ER
My mom is the same way! She always gazes longingly when any of us order it.

This sounds really yummy and I would like to try it. Only have one question for you. What about the lemons?
Whoops. Sprinkle the juice of them before broiling. Thanks for catching that. Let me know how it is!

I ran across your recipe a few weeks ago and was planning on making this tonight. Do you broil the shrimp unpeeled?? I just wanted to check because I have never done that! Thanks
Yes I do. It’s a little messy, but the sauce is so good you’ll want to lick your fingers!
I save the shells in a freezer bag and put ‘em in the freezer. When i have a bag full I make shrimp stock.
Oh that sounds great! I’ll have to try it sometime.
What do you use shrimp stock for? I’ve always thought about that, but not sure what I’d use it for. – Rachel
18 minutes does not over cook them? that seems like a long Broil…just curious. Thank YOU!
Every oven cooks differently. Keep an eye on them after 10 minutes and if its done to your liking, pull them out sooner.
thank you. I can’t wait to try it.
