• 2 lbs. large green shrimp, de-veined, shelled, washed
• 6 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tsp. grated lemon peel

Boil rice to your preferred doneness; drain any remaining water. Melt butter in a baking dish in oven set to 400 degrees. Add salt, garlic and most of the parsley (reserve a little) to butter; mix well. Arrange cleaned shrimp in single layer on baking dish. Turn shrimp to coat in butter mix. Bake uncovered 5 minutes. Turn shrimp. Sprinkle with lemon peel, lemon juice, and remaining parsley. Bake 8-10 minutes or until just tender. Arrange hot rice on serving dishes, top with shrimp. Garnish with lemon wedges.
