BBQ Shrimp Bake

We decided to stay in and cook last night. BBQ Shrimp Bake is one of JJ's favorite dishes that I make. This recipe is just one of many that originated from my mom's kitchen. We were both in the mood for a home cooked meal and lucky for me, this one isn't that much work. You put all of the ingredients in a pan and leave it in the oven to do it's thing. The dish came out quite good even though we cut the size of the recipe to serve only two. It is a great meal to serve when having company over, when paired with a salad. Enjoy.

INGREDIENTS
·1 1/2 cups of margarine, melted
·3 lbs. of raw medium shrimp, in shells
·1/2 cup of Italian salad dressing
·2 tbsp of worcestershire sauce
·1 tbsp of soy sauce
·3 cloves of garlic, minced
·2 bay leaves
·3 tsp. of salt
· 2 1/2 tbsp. coarse ground black pepper
·juice of 3 lemons
·1 tbsp. paprika

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Melt margarine in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Add shrimp and all other ingredients. (Do not marinate the shrimp. Just combine all of the ingredients at once.) Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes if shrimp is at room temperature or at 30 to 40 minutes if shrimp is very cold. Stir several times while baking to combine all flavors. Shrimp is done when it has curled up. Serve over rice and with French bread for dipping.
