Notes
- When cooking a protein, including shrimp, pat it dry of any moisture and make sure it is at room temperature when preparing for the best result.
- Some people don't like leaving the tail on, but I do because it makes it easier for people to pick them up when serving.
- Make sure to grease the baking dish with butter so the shrimp don't stick, and because it adds flavor!
