Spicy Lemon Garlic Shrimp

So, I recently went on vaca to Vegas with some family. Everyone in the house has to sign up for a breakfast, lunch and dinner to make for the group so we cut expenses and weren't eating on the Strip every night (although that'd be awesome). When I was planning my meals, I wanted to chose interactive things that we could enjoy as a group. This was definitely a hit because I served a huge baking dish of shrimp and we sat around and peeled the shells and dipped bread in the delicious sauce and enjoyed ourselves!

Ingredients

2 lbs raw shrimp, deveined, shells on (you want the shells on for flavor and fun peeling!)
2 sticks cold butter, cut into pieces
1 tsp salt
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 c parsley
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 whole lemon, juiced

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse frozen shrimp to separate, then arrange in a single layer in a baking dish. In the bowl of a food processor, add cold butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Pulse until combined. Sprinkle cold butter mixture over shrimp. Bake until shrimp are opaque and butter is hot and bubbly, about 10 min. Serve with french bread. Peel and eat shrimp, then dip the bread into the butter in the bottom of the pan.
