12 large shrimp, unpeeled with heads and tails left on
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ tablespoons fresh coarse ground black pepper
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon thyme
¼ teaspoon cayenne
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic (2 cloves)
1 tablespoon water
half of 1 lemon, seeded

Squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the shrimp and add rind and pulp to the pan.
3
Over high heat, cook the shrimp while gently stirring and occasionally turning the shrimp.
4
After about two minutes of cooking, the shrimp should start turning pink on both sides, indicating they are nearly half cooked.
5
If the shrimp are the colossal size, now add 2 tablespoons water to the pan.
6
Otherwise, dont add water.
7
Reduce the heat to medium-high and continue cooking as you gradually add the cold pieces of butter to the pan.

While stirring the shrimp, swirl the butter pieces until they are incorporated into the pan juices, the sauce turns light brown and creamy as it simmers, and the shrimp are just cooked through.
