Hunger is the greatest appetiser.

I usually only get the Maruchan shrimp flavour (with real (and real 
shrimpy) shrimp). They go on sale around here sometimes at 25c each. So, 
I will buy 4 or 5 flats (12 to the flat) and be set until the next time 
I find them on sale again. 

I also add two Taco Bell hot sauce packets or one Cholula Hot Sauce 
packet to the cup before pouring in the water. It seems to wake things 
up nicely.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Alfredo. I probably wouldn't have done it 
anyway. Now, I definitely won't.

      Title: Cajun Baked Shrimp
 Categories: Seafood, Cajun
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      3 lb Uncooked large shrimp;
           -unpeeled
    3/4 c  Butter
  1 1/2 c  Bottled Italian dressing
    1/2 c  Fresh lemon juice
    1/2 c  Chopped fresh mint
      2 tb Worcestershire sauce
      1 tb Hot pepper sauce
      4    Bay leaves; crumbled
      2 ts Ground black pepper
      1 ts Salt
 
  "My mom taught me how to cook - mostly the meat-and-potatoes
  fare favored in my native north Texas," writes Judy Wilkins
  of Tyler, Texas. "I'll always have a fondness for that kind
  of meal, but now that I live in a town closer to Louisiana,
  I've developed a love for Cajun food. Out of necessity, I've
  also developed a love for quick cooking. Between my
  musician's hours (nights and weekends) and teacher's hours
  (daytime piano lessons), my schedule can be nuts. When I do
  have the chance to cook dinner on a weeknight, whatever I
  make can't take too long - and it has to taste great."
  
  With this communal dish, the mess is part of the fun. Lay
  down newspapers on the table and invite guests to peel and
  eat. And serve crusty bread for sopping up the juices.
  
  Place shrimp in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Melt butter
  in medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in Italian
  dressing, lemon juice, mint, Worcestershire sauce, hot
  sauce, bay leaves, pepper, and salt. Cool sauce to room
  temperature; mix into shrimp. Refrigerate at least 1 hour
  and up to 3 hours, tossing occasionally.
  
  Preheat oven to 450°F. Bake shrimp until just opaque in
  center, about 15 minutes, and serve.
  
  Makes 6 to 8 main-course servings.
