Spicy Buttery Shrimp

2 lbs (more or less) shelled & deveined shrimp
1 stick butter (original recipe calls for 2 sticks, but I only use 1)
1/4 c lemon juice
2 tbs minced garlic
1 tbs black pepper
1 tbs paprika
3 tbs rosemary
1 1/2 tsp oregano
3/4 basil
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp ground red pepper (I use flakes & crush)

combine butter & rest of ingredients except shrimp in saucepan and heat til melted. Cook over low heat 10 minutes. Boil water in large saucepan of salted water til boiling, add shrimp & cook 3 minutes.

Place shrimp in dish & add butter mixture.

Generally, I serve with pasta but think I'll try rice next time ... it's pretty rich but yummy. Since we like a little spicier food, I add more red pepper flakes at the end.
