Method: 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour butter into a large baking pan (10x16x2-inch). Using a vegetable peeler or sharp knife, remove lemon peel in long ribbons and juice the lemons. Add lemon peel, juice, and garlic to the butter. Stir, place in oven, and bake for 5 minutes. Add Barbecue Seasoning Mixture and bake 5 minutes more.

Raise oven temperature to 400°F. Add shrimp to butter mixture, toss to coat, and bake until shrimp are pink and firm to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes.

Serve with toasted French bread and plenty of napkins.

When preparing the barbecue mix, make sure you combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix thoroughly.
