Shrimp Alexander from Morton’s The Steakhouse

Ingredients

Breadcrumbs:
2 c plain breadcrumbs
2 tsp shallots, finely minced
2 tsp parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Shrimp:
4 ounces butter or margarine
12 large shrimp
Method
For the breadcrumbs: In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, shallots, and parsley into the plain breadcrumbs. Be careful not to leave any lumps of garlic or shallots. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
For the prepared shrimp: In a small saucepan, melt the butter until it’s warm, not hot. Dip cleaned shrimp in warm butter, one at a time. Let the excess butter drain off and roll the buttered shrimp into the prepared bread crumbs. Place the breaded shrimp on a baking sheet, vein side down, with the tail curled up. Place the sheet in a 500-degree oven for approximately four to five minutes, or until golden brown.
To serve: Serve with a white wine butter or light cream sauce. Enjoy!
