Default Broiled Shrimp with Garlic Butter

I've made this recipe twice. I have an allergy to shrimp, so I don't
bother anymore. I used to itch like crazy whenever I had to peel
shrimp at work. Anyway, it's simple, easy, not too many ingredients,
definitely no exotic ingredients...

2lb. large fresh shrimp in shells (I use frozen; I've also used cooked
before, and didn't saute' the shrimp as much...not as good IMO)
1/2 cup salted butter
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. lemon juice; I've used white wine instead...it's good
1/4 cup shallots
1 Tbsp. finely chopped garlic; I don't measure, but I put more in than
a Tbsp
1 tsp salt; I leave it out
fresh ground black pepper
flat leaf fresh parsley
lemon wedges for garnish and then squeezing

Shell shrmip; don't remove the last tail segment (that's the recipe; I
remove the whole shell)
Slit shrimp down the back and remove the black intestinal vein
Wash shrimp under cold running water; pat dry
Preheat broiler (I don't do that; I just saute' in a pan)
In baking dish large enough to hold shrimp in one layer, melt butter
slowly; don't brown.
Stir in olive oil, lemon juice, shallots, garlic salt and some black
pepper. Add shrimp and turn in butter mix. Broil them 3" or so from
heat for 5 minutes. Turn and broil another 5 to 10 minutes or so.
Lightly browned and firm. Transfer the sea animals to a platter and
pour sauce over them; sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.
