1. Prepare all ingredients and have ready before you begin.

5. As they cook, the butter will pick up the color of the bell peppers.

7. Continue stirring, thoroughly coating shrimp with butter mixture.
8. Keep this up for at least 3 minutes (the shrimp will begin to turn pink in spots).
9. Once the shrimp are coated, cover the Dutch oven and cook on high heat for about 3 more minutes.
10. NOTE: Look for shrimp that have their shells on but have been deveined already.
11. If you can't find them, split shell along the back and remove vein, but leaving shell on.
