Acadian Peppered Shrimp

Ingredients:

1 pound butter
2 teaspoons fresh basil, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
1 each bay leaf, crumbled
salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
5 each garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup black pepper, finely ground
4 pounds large raw shrimp in shells

Preparation:

The shrimp should be of a size to number 30 to 35 per pound. Melt the
butter in a large deep sided frying pan or iron skillet over low heat.
When melted, raise the heat, and add the remaining ingredients except
the shrimp.

Cook, stirring often, until browned to a rich mahogany color, about 10
minutes. Add the shrimp, stirring and turning to coat well with the
seasoned butter. Cook until the shrimp have turned a rich deep pink.
Serve the shrimp in their shells, peeling them at the table.
