1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 garlic cloves, sliced
4 bay leaves, broken in half
1 1/2 lbs large shrimp
1/2 lemon, juice of
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Preparation

Combine olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and bay leaves in a saute pan.
Warm the ingredients over low heat for 2-3 minutes; let cool.
Meanwhile, peel/devein shrimp; rinse shrimp under cold running water; drain and dry well; place shrimp in a shallow dish.
Pour the contents of the saute pan over the shrimp; add in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Toss the shrimp so that it is coated with the marinade.
Let the shrimp marinate for at least 1 hour but preferably for several hours, tossing the mixture from time to time.
If you marinate the shrimp for longer than 1 hour, refrigerate them and return to room temperature before cooking.
Transfer shrimp/marinade to a large pan; cook over high heat until shrimp are just opaque.
Lightly salt and serve with lemon juice.
