HOLLYWOOD SHRIMP

Category: Fish and Seafood

Oil, for sauteing
1/2 pound sliced country ham
3 lbs (21 to 25 count per lb) shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 sticks butter, melted

Heat the oven to 400.

In a large lightly oiled skillet, saute the country ham over medium heat until crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly, then slice or chop; the restaurant juliennes the ham.

In a large casserole (about 11 by 15 inches), place the peeled shrimp in a single layer. Top the shrimp with the minced garlic, country ham and drizzle with melted butter. Place the casserole in the oven and cook just until the shrimp are opaque and firm, about 15 to 25 minutes. Serve the shrimp over the cooked angel hair pasta or rice. Serves 6-8
