Shrimp New Orleans

Several hours before preparing the dish for serving, wash the shrimp in 6 changes of fresh water.

Allow the shrimp to completely drain in a colander in the refrigerator until cooking time.

At cooking time, combine in a saucepan the butter, lots of black pepper, garlic salt, lemon juice and the crab boil.

Set aside.

Place the unpeeled shrimp in a flat 3-quart baking dish. Bring the butter sauce to a boil; pour over the shrimp. Immediately put the shrimp under a hot broiler.

Allow shrimp to turn pink on one side, then turn shrimp over to broil until pink on the other side.

Turn oven off; allow shrimp to remain in hot oven 5 minutes longer.

Serve hot in bowls with hot French bread. Serves 3 to 4.
