Preheat oven to 450 F and shell shrimp.

In a pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Once melted, add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and a pinch of salt to the butter. Some prefer using Old Bay seasoning.

Place shrimp in a wide baking dish and pour seasoned butter over it.

Bake small shrimp for 6 minutes, medium shrimp for 10 minutes and large shrimp for 15 minutes until meat is opaque.

Turn shrimp midway through cooking, remove from heat and serve.
