Shrimp with garlic, butter and lemon have been done in just about every possible way imaginable. The good news is it never gets old and always tastes great. The colossal shrimp may be substituted with large shrimp, which of course is smaller than colossal and a smaller style bread like French bread toast for a slightly lighter appetizer. This recipe was topped off with some Panko and placed under the broiler for added texture. It’s a super appetizer for an elegant dinner.
