NEW ORLEANS BARBECUE SHRIMP



New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp image

Barbecue shrimp is an old New Orleans recipe that has nothing to do with barbecue or with grilling. Its name comes from the spicy, smoky flavor the shrimp derive from being cooked with Worcestershire sauce and lots of black pepper. It is a fine and almost absurdly fast dish - once the shrimp are peeled, you can have it on the table in 10 minutes - with a rich, savory sauce that completely belies the little effort it takes. But as I discovered once I started playing around with it, the key ingredient is neither Worcestershire sauce nor pepper, but rather butter. If you start with about a tablespoon for each serving of shrimp, you can add almost any flavor you like and create a sauce with the same creaminess and rich flavor. But start with Worcestershire sauce and pepper!

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

16-20 jumbo shrimp (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (2 lemons)
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
2 tsp creole seasonings (tony cacherie's)
1/3 c worcestershire sauce
4 bay leaves
3 stick unsalted butter, cubed
french bread (reislings or leidenheimer's)
lots of napkins or a wet hand towel

Steps:

  • 1. In a large heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, combine shrimp, lemon juice, garlic, lemon juice, black peppers, Creole seasoning, worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves; cook over medium high heat until shrimp turn pink, about 1-2 minutes on each side.
  • 2. Reduce heat to medium and start adding butter, a few cubes at a time, stirring or shaking pan vigorously constantly.
  • 3. When butter melts then add a few more cubes - continue until all butter is incorporated. Don't add the butter all at once, it won't emulsify into the sauce.
  • 4. Remove skillet from heat. Place 4-5 shrimp into a bowl (for appetizer), 8-10 (for entree), and pour sauce over the shrimp. Serve with lots of French Bread and a wet hand towel.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or grill pan for the best results.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings.
  • Serve the shrimp with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
