Spicy Shrimp

i LOVE spicy food so when i saw this recipe i had to give it a try right away! of course, i always try to look for healthier options, so i left out the stick of butter that this recipe originally called for.... also, i prefer not to have to work so much for my food so i prefer already peeled and cleaned raw shrimp. i was originally going to pair it with some brown rice but at the last minute i decided to go with a crusty bread like the pioneer woman recipe suggested... and it did not disappoint! although now that i think about it, i buttered the bread so i guess it doesnt really matter that i didnt put it in the recipe lol (atleast it was light butter right?!)

sorry this is such a terrible pic. next time i make these i will take a better pic (hopefully!)
3 pounds raw Shrimp (21-26 Count Or Larger)
1/2 cup Olive Oil
Pepper, to taste
3 whole Lemons (juice Of)
1/4 cup (to 1/2 Cup) Worcestershire Sauce
Tabasco or hot sauce to taste

Rinse shrimp. Place the shrimp in a large baking pan in a single layer. Over top of the shrimp drizzle about ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil.

Generously sprinkle black pepper over top of the shrimp.

Squeeze the juice of  lemons over top of all of the shrimp. Now drizzle Worcestershire all over the shrimp.

Drizzle hot sauce over the top to your desired temperature

Place the pan of shrimp under the broiler in your oven for just about 10 minutes until the shrimp are no longer translucent.
