Sherry Garlic Shrimp

This dish reminds me a lot of shrimp scampi, with a great kick from the garlic and sherry. I love it! This is another jewel from Darcy. This recipe serves about 4.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons dry sherry
2-3 large cloves of garlic, crushed (I mince them.)
1/2 teaspoon dried or fresh thyme, crumbled (I just use the regular dried thyme.)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper (be accurate here if you want your kids to eat this, not that I'd know...)
2 lemons, cut in eighths
4 parsley sprigs

1. Preheat over to 400 degrees.
2. Arrange shrimp in a single layer, slightly apart in a shallow baking dish.
3. Combine olive oil, sherry, garlic, thyme, salt, and red pepper.
4. Pour over shrimp.
5. Bake for 4 minutes, turn shrimp over and bake and additional 4-6 minutes. Shrimp will be ready when pink, firm, and barely opaque.

Serve with pan juices. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs.

And sit back and get oohs and ahhs from your husband!
