This week it is Ree Drummond.
Unless you just crawled out from under a rock, she is the writer, photographer, blogger extraordinaire of the wildly popular website
The Pioneer Woman.
Among other things, she is a cookbook author, mother, food celebrity and all around awesome lady. She lives on a ranch in Oklahoma with her husband Marlboro man, children and a menagerie of animals. She blogs about her experiences and we lap it up, like a kitten drinking a bowl of cream.
2 pounds Raw frozen Shrimp, Deveined, Shells On
2 sticks Cold Unsalted Butter Cut Into Pieces
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
4 cloves Garlic, Peeled
½ teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper
1 whole Lemon, Juiced
1 handful of parsley
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse frozen shrimp to separate, then arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
In the bowl of a food processor, add cold butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt, parsley, and red pepper.
Pulse until combined.
Sprinkle cold butter crumbles over the shrimp. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until your shrimp is pink.
Serve with hot crusty bread. Peel and eat the shrimp, then dip the bread into the butter in the bottom of the pan.
I agree with Ree when she told us “The juice left in the bottom of the pan is delicious dipped with the crusty bread.”
Oh my goodness!

You chose a winner, Veronica! All that lovely garlic butter would be delicious!
I’m thinking the juices in the bottom of the pan would be my favorite part, too. Piling the shrimp and the juices on bruschetta sounds heavenly, actually. Very tasty choice.
You had me at the flavored butter and crusty bread. Great choice, and welcome to the group!
MMM! What an easy and perfect way to cook shrimp! I love that Ree says she unabashedly uses frozen and convenience foods, as she shops in bulk only a few times a month. This is one way for her family to have a break from the local beef! You’ve done her proud, Veronica!
Look delicious Veronica I love shrimps!! gloria
Ree IS pretty amazing isn’t she? She just finds a way to comfort us all and makes real comfort food! This shrimp is no exception – sounds amazing =)
I would totally gobble this up! Love the lemon and garlic on the shrimp, they go well with them!
Well, you must be a game changer then because I follow you and I don’t her. 🙂
The shrimp dish look yummy. I’m a huge scampi fan anyhow so this is right up my alley (especially with the addition of crusty bread!).
Welcome to the gang! You picked a wonderful recipe to share with us. Those pan juices just beg for crusty bread to help mop them up. I’m so glad you’ve joined us. You are a great addition to the group.I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary

You can never go wrong with lemon and garlic on shrimp! This looks fantastic!
I love shrimp. Great recipe.
I am a HUGE shrimp fan (now that’s an oxy moron!) and I think I could live on it! What a great recipe! Thank you!
This is absolutly delicious! I make something very similar with pasta and it’s really gets high ratings. Great choice!
What a FUN series to do! I love it…and the shrimp looks delicious!
I am a fan of Ree’s but my claim to fame is that I know Mikey, her brother. He is a sweetheart. Her cinnamon roll recipe is my fave.
The Pioneer Woman’s Petite Vanilla Bean Scone recpe on her blog makes THE best scones I have ever put into my mouth. EVER!
Looks great – thanks for sharing.
