3 dozen shrimp, de-veined
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 cup butter
5 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1/4 lb. sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup butter
6 thin orange slices, for garnishing (optional)
green onions, for garnishing (optional)

Shell and de-vein shrimp, leaving tails on. Place shrimp in small bowl with salt, oregano, thyme.
In a separate bowl, cream together butter, garlic and parsley.

In a small skillet, sauté mushrooms in butter. Brush seasoning mixture lightly from shrimp, allowing some to remain. Divide the shrimp among six individual oven proof baking dishes; top with sautéed mushrooms and drizzle with remaining butter from skillet.

Spoon garlic butter mixture (as desired) on top of mushrooms.

Bake at 375°F. for 12 minutes or until done.

Garnish each serving with a thin orange slice, cut through to the center on one side and arranged in a twist over the shrimp. Top with a curl of green onion, if desired.

6 servings.
