THE REALTOR'S SPICY BAKED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• In the food processor with the metal blade, combine the egg, mustard, garlic, chili sauce and lemon juice. Process until smooth. Season with a little salt and pepper.
• With machine running, add 1 cup of olive oil in a steady stream. Process until mixture is thick.
• Heat remaining oil in skillet over medium- high heat. Season shrimp with salt, pepper and granulated garlic powder. Add shrimp to hot oil and sear for about 1 minute on each side.
• Place 3 shrimp on each of 6 scallop shells (or place all the shrimp in a casserole dish). Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the chili/oil mixture over the shrimp in each shell (or spoon over shrimp in casserole) and sprinkle with parmesan cheese, a tiny bit of paprika and parsley.
• Place shells on cookie sheet (casserole doesn't need one). Bake until the top is golden brown and bubbly, around 1 to 2 minutes for the shells and 3 to 4 minutes for the casserole. Sometimes this takes a little longer- just watch them and pull them out whern they brown. Don't over-cook them or your shrimp will be rubbery (YUCK!).
