Oven-Barbequed Shrimp

You can eat this with your fingers! On a table covered with newspaper. Even as an adult, Jen still thinks this is super cool. It's a crime against nature not to eat this with a big loaf of sourdough bread, thickly sliced & cold beer.

* 2 lbs unpeeled shrimp (medium to large)
* 1 lb butter
* 1 tablespoons poupon mustard
* 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
* ½ teaspoon oregano
* ¼ teaspoon basil
* ¼ teaspoon thyme
* 2 tsp black pepper
* 4-5 garlic cloves, finely minced
* 1 small onion, grated
* ¼ cup of Old Bays seasoning
* 1/2 tsp tabasco (or to taste)
* 1 tsp liquid smoke (and not a drop more or it will be disgusting - the recipe doesn't work without it, though)

Melt butter in a skilled then add all spices. Preheat oven to 375°. Put shrimp in a baking dish (I generally use my big lasagna pan) and cover with butter & spice mixture. Cook for approximately 20 minutes. Start checking to see if it's done at about 15 minutes. The worst thing you can possibly do is overcook this.
