Instructions: Preheat broiler. Use a sharp knife or scissors to split the raw unshelled shrimp through lengthwise almost to the tail, leaving all the feet on and shell intact. Remove the sand veins and pat the shrimp dry. Crush the garlic with a press or cut it up and crush it. Melt the butter and stir in the garlic, oil, minced parsley, lemon juice and pepper. Holding the shrimp by the tips of the tail, dip them one at time into the butter sauce. Arrange them in a single layer in 1 or 2 flat baking dishes. Stir the remaining butter sauce and spoon it over the shrimp.

Broil for approximately 5 minutes, then turn the shrimp over the remaining 5 minutes. Broil 6 inches from heat, but watch as 5 minutes may be too much for second side. Remove shrimp as soon as the start to brown. Serve with plenty of sauce over rice or as an appetizer.
