BUTTERFLIED SHRIMP (BAKED)
These delicious baked butterflied shrimp are plump, herb-y, buttery and a little crunchy. And, best of all, no frying and smelling up the kitchen. They take a bit more work than your basic shrimp cocktail, but worth it for a special occasion. The shrimp can either be served as an appetizer or as a main dish.

Steps:
- HEAT OVEN TO 400F/204C. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt butter for 30 seconds in a small bowl in the Microwave on High.
- TOAST CRUMBS and SEASON: Spread Panko or bread crumbs evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes. Watch them carefully and stir halfway through, making sure they don't burn. Remove from the oven and transfer to shallow dish to cool. Add garlic and seasonings to bread crumbs and stir to combine. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- INCREASE OVEN TEMPERATURE TO 500F/260C. Line baking sheet with tin foil and spray with peanut oil or olive oil.
- BUTTERFLY SHRIMP: Here's a video on how to peel, devein and butterfly shrimp. Using a sharp paring knife, make a deep slice (but not all the way through) along the top of each shrimp where the black vein was (the humped part). Turn the shrimp over and make 3 small shallow slits horizontally across the shrimp (1/2 inch/1.27 cm apart) to help prevent the shrimp from curling during cooking. Pat dry with a paper towel (don't skip this step!).
- BREAD ONE SIDE OF SHRIMP: Dip each shrimp in melted butter and then dredge butterflied open side in bread crumbs, pressing so it sticks. Place shrimp, bread crumb side up, in foil-lined pan in a single layer. Repeat with all shrimp. Drizzle shrimp with a little more of melted butter. (hmm, I know what you're thinking...more butter?... go for it or skip it - up to you - I go for it). At this point, you can let the shrimp sit for an hour or so until you're ready to bake them.
- BAKE AND SERVE: Bake in center of oven for 5 minutes (for jumbo shrimp) and 4 minutes (for large shrimp) until just cooked through. Don't over cook. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, lemon wedges or cocktail sauce. Sprinkle on additional chopped parsley for color.

BUTTERFLIED BAKED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spread the bread crumbs evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Watch them carefully as they burn very quickly. Remove from the oven and cool. Raise the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Butterfly the shrimp by slicing from the tail to the front on the top of the shrimp, where the vein was. Slice as deep as possible without cutting all the way through. Turn the shrimp over and make 3 small shallow slits horizontally across the shrimp, being careful not to cut all the way through. These slits will prevent the shrimp from curling during cooking. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Mix together the oregano, thyme, parsley, basil and garlic. Add the garlic herb mixture to the bread crumbs and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Brush a large ovenproof skillet with some of the melted butter, coating the bottom well. Dip the shrimp in the butter, opened side down, and then dredge in the bread crumbs, pressing so they stick. Place the shrimp, bread crumb side up, in the skillet in 1 layer.
- When all of the shrimp are in the pan, drizzle the top with a little more of the melted butter. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are just cooked through and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
- Toss the arugula with the olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Place 4 shrimp around each pile of arugula. Drizzle with more butter, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.

PUFFED BUTTERFLY SHRIMP

Steps:
- Dipping Sauce: Place catsup, sugar, vinegar and water in saucepan. Bring to a boil and thicken with dissolved cornstarch. Add green pepper and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat and set aside. This may be done ahead and reheated. Ginger Juice Mixture: Mix ginger root, garlic, salt and sherry ingredients in bowl and set aside. Batter: Shell, devein, and butterfly shrimp. (Remove shell, leaving tail portion intact. Split shrimp down back without cutting through. Remove vein and spread open.) Wash in cold water 1 minute, drain, and pat dry. Using pastry brush, spread Ginger Juice Mixture on split side of shrimp. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in bowl. Add oil gradually while stirring. Mix well. The dough should look like pie dough. Stir in water a little at a time, until mixture becomes thick batter. Add sesame seeds and scallions and mix well. (The big trick to puffy batter is addition of oil before cold water.) To test whether consistency of batter is right, hold a shrimp by tail, dip it into batter, then hold it over bowl. Batter should drip down slowly from shrimp. Heat oil in deep fryer to temperature (375°F.) Take each shrimp by tail and dip into batter, then put directly into hot oil. Shrimp should puff up and swim to top immediately. (If it stays on bottom, oil is not hot enough.) Deep-fry a few at a time too many cool down oil. Turn shrimp with tongs when batter is set. Fry until light gold. Drain on paper towels. Serve with hot sauce on the side. They should be served immediately, but warm oven will keep them pretty crisp for 1/2 hour or so.
