How to Make Killer Shrimp

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 minced cloves garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference), 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional). Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  3. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Transfer the shrimp and sauce to a large, shallow baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
