DELICIOUS!! Bibs and lots of napkins are recommended! I only used 2 teaspoons butter, and added a dash of garlic powder and a sprinkling of red pepper flakes to the Zesty Italian dressing ~ Baked the shrimp in their shells for 15 minutes at 350F. Made for Spring PAC Orphanage 2011.

I make something similar but double the shrimp and add juice of 1 lemon and 2 TBS of pepper. Please cook in the shells...that makes the recipe!

This is delicious and very easy to make. Sounds unusual, but works very well. Thanks for posting!<br/>Update: For 3/4 pounds shrimp, I used 1/2 bottle of dressing and about 6 TBS butter. I also added in small grape tomatoes and white mushrooms, quartered and we had plenty of sauce.

Well, it couldn't be simpler, although I had some trepidation putting in the oven covered in dressing and butter! It was pretty tasty, though. I think I could easily double the shrimp or reduce the dressing and butter, because this made a LOT of extra juice. While I could have used all of the bread to soak it up, I was already suffering a guilty conscience. I actually poured it in a container to save as marinade. Thanks for posting this, my fellow Gnome!

I remember cooking this in the late '70's and then LOST the recipie. This is FANTASTIC. Really. Serve it to Company. It does not really matter how many shrimp exactly you have, just mush them on in there and cover them well.
