Alabama Style Shrimp Bake

Last night, I decided to go for seafood. I absolutely love seafood, and it is so healthy for you. I have had the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Cookbook for awhile now and I have never cooked anything from it. So last night I decided to try the Alabama-Style Shrimp Bake. I loved this meal, and so did my dad and step-mom! Now, it does have a small kick to it, so if you do not like anything hot or spicy do not try this one. It does not light your mouth on fire, but it does have a little spice to it, which I love. Since it is in a cookbook, I will give you the recipe and a link where you can go to buy the cookbook itself. I will also give you the full recipe, and the changes I made to make it healthy (it has A LOT of butter in the real recipe, so I cut that down a little). 
My dad, step-mom, and myself all rated it four stars, so get to cooking :)
Amazon has the cookbook here http://www.amazon.com/Bubba-Gump-Shrimp-Co-Cookbook/dp/0848714792
But here is the recipe from the cookbook and my changes in blue:
Ingredients:
1 cup melted butter (4 Tablespoons melted butter)
¾ C lemon juice
¾ C Worcestershire sauce
1 T salt
1 T Pepper
1 t rosemary
1/8 ground red pepper 
1 T hot sauce
3 cloves minced garlic
2 ½ lbs. shrimp
2 lemons thinly sliced
1 med. Onion 


Directions:
1.     Combine 1st 9 ingredients in a small bowl & set aside.
2.     Rinse shrimp with cold water; drain well. Layer shrimp, lemon slices, and onion slices in an ungreased baking dish. Pour butter mixture over shrimp.
3.     Bake, uncovered, at 400F for 20-25 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices.


Serves 6
