  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
  2. Mix thoroughly to combine the spices.
  3. Add 28 large unpeeled, uncooked shrimp to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly with the spice mixture. (Optional: Refrigerate for 2 hours to marinate.)

  5. Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the melted butter.
  6. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and softened.
  7. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they turn opaque and pink in the center, cooking through.
  8. Stir in an additional 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter until melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
  9. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving bowl.
  10. Pour the flavorful Creole sauce from the skillet over the shrimp.
  11. Serve immediately with warm, crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy!
