In a large skillet, combine shrimp, lemon juice, black peppers, Creole seasoning, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce.

Cook over moderately high heat, tossing and moving shrimp until they turn pink, about 1 minute on each side.

Reduce heat to moderate and stir in butter, a few cubes at a time, stirring constantly and gently, adding more only when butter is melted.

Remove skillet from heat. Place shrimp in a bowl and pour sauce over top.

Serve with crispy French bread for dipping.
