  1. Some people never learned to read or learn mathematical.
    I understood 1.33 was equal to 1 1/3pounds .

  2. Th is looks great! Wonder how it would taste if you added a little lemon juice to the shrimp mixture as well.

  3. Yes, it’s Step 1 of the recipe & .33 (one third of a pound) of shrimp, although why not 1/2 a pound???

  4. I just wasted 2 minutes of my life reading these idiotic remarks! Feel like I’m back in kindergarten!🙄🙄

  5. Didn’t anyone catch the mistake ? On the main page it says 1 1/2 stick of butter. On this page it says 2 tablespoons of butter.

  6. WOW. That’s all I got after reading these comments. WOW. However I appreciate you sharing the recipe.
    Side note: If one can’t figure out a simple recipe such as this, might want to steer clear of the kitchen for safety reasons. If the completely ignorants comments were don’t purposely to hurt the author or start negative drama, SHAME on you. GROW UP.
    Another side note: I will absolutely NOT be responding to any comments to this one. I don’t even read anymore after I screen shot the recipe. I have grown up stuff to do😳. Thanks again for sharing this recipe. Trying tonight❤️

  7. Recipe is totally different from where posted on Facebook and here. Which is it? 1.5 sticks of butter or 2 TBSP? 1 tsp Italian seasoning or 1 packet Good Seasons Italian dressing?

  8. You all just ruined the whole receipt for me because of all the bs about the weight. How many people have to chime in to say exactly the same thing????

  9. New Orleans BBQ shrimp has lots if black pepper and maybe some worstershire sauce. Bug definitelh black pepper.

  10. Recipe sounds very good. I read on another site that if the shrimp are cooked with the shells on, the shrimp remain juicy and flavorful. Thanks for posting your recipe.

  11. This would be why people hesitate to share! Unbelievable! People have way too much time on their hands! Thank you for sharing I appreciate it!

  12. I ate this as a teen (with lots of black pepper, if I recall correctly) and it’s amazing!!! Messy, but yummy! THANK YOU for sharing.

  13. What a bunch of fricken idiots. Some of you don’t have enough sense to turn the oven on, Judy go to red lobster and order it

  14. I can’t believe all the discussion (and rudeness) regarding a measurement. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, and I clearly read 1.3 pounds= one and a third pounds. Let’s try to not be rude over such small things. Kindness goes a long way! If you’re that focused on the measurements, you need to get a life. Have a great weekend and a big thanks for sharing this recipe. It looks wonderful!

  15. One and a third pounds of shrimp unpeeled. Once you peel the shrimp you will have one pound of peeled shrimp. This is a very good recipe 👍

  16. Wow I can’t believe all the arguing about a simple measurement that the lady clearly read wrong, and the more you tried to steer her in the right direction she still took it south! Whether she is trying to be funny or just can’t do fractions, stay out of the kitchen until someone can help you achieve wat you set out to do. 11/2-2 sticks of butter is good enough to cover that much shrimp and leave some of the juice to dip your bread in. Let’s try and be nice when others others are sharing. Thank you for sharing, I tried it and just loved it. I let it marinate for 45 minutes and the flavor came through so well.

    • Thank you, thank you for expressing yourself so eloquently. People are becoming out of hand. They are “looking ” for a fight. Thank you for being a human. A human we don’t see much anymore.

  17. To the person using 1/3 cup of shrimp. You will have about 3 shrimp to eat! It’s 1 1/3 lbs of shrimp! Good grief!

  18. Just tried this recipe with 33 lbs of shrimp, I was only able to get down about 30 lbs and now I’m not feeling that well. I would suggest you use less shrimp than that. cmon people laugh a little.

  19. oh for the love of GOD!! It’s a shrimp recipe, people! I think it looks WONDERFUL! Get off your self righteous soap boxes, and go volunteer your epic math skills! People argue over anything, anymore!

  20. If you’re gonna do 33 pounds of shrimp just quadruple the other ingredients…I LOVE shrimp so 33 pounds sounds damn good to me 🤣🤣🤣

  21. I am trying to figure out where the Parmesan comes in….is it in the Italian dressing? Thanks for the recipe- I’m always looking for something different.

  22. This reminds This reminds of the first cake I ever baked at age 11. I thought I had followed the recipe correctly but when my proud mother took the first bite, she asked how much salt I had used. I said 1/4 cup. She gave me a bite and I was horrified at the salt tase. I looked at the recipe again and noted that it said 1/4 tsp. I became very careful from that day on!

  23. I must be truly bored! the failure to read correctly., understand fractions, and subject and verb agreements have m ade me quite nauseated!

  24. I wasn’t sure at first about the .33 but I had a 1 pound bag in.the freezer and I really didnt realize and not care. However wow what is wrong with y’all being so angry and ugly to a small simple question ❓ I mean dang she wasn’t asking you anything personal about yourselves. I didn’t realize about the .33 until I read the comments and realized it was 1/3 I was like wow JoJo that was a big brain burp 😂 but honestly it didn’t warrant being chastised and ganged up on for a simple mistake. unless you all are walking on water, I’d consider how you speak to , yes even from your key board.
