Yucatan Shrimp Recipe ala Doc Ford's in Sanibel, Fl

SEE BELOW FOR RECIPE...
The Helpful Dad says you MUST TRY this amazing peel-n-eat shrimp recipe. We've modified it slightly vs the original in order to increase the amount of sauce because we love to dip bread in it or put it over pasta. But even if you eat it 'plain', it's just amazing. Try it today!

YOU WILL NEED:
8 tablespoons unsalted butter

1-2 Large cloves of Garlic (minced)

Juice of two large limes

1-2 tablespoon Sambal Oelek Chili Sauce (or substitute Siracha)

1-2 pound large, fresh, shell-on shrimp

2-4 tablespoons chopped cilantro.

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

HOW TO:
1. In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt 2 tablespoon of butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.

2. Add remaining 6 tablespoons butter to saucepan. When it melts, stir in the lime juice, chili sauce, salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and allow the sauce to rest.

3. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes or until they are just firm and pink. Do not overcook. Drain into a colander and shake over the sink to remove excess moisture.

4. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp and sauce mixture

Serves 4, very messily. :)
