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!

BARBECUE SHRIMP - NEW ORLEANS STYLE



Barbecue Shrimp - New Orleans Style image

A recipe I found on www.nomenu.com. This was a recipe that was made/originated at Manale's in New Orleans. The dish is simple: huge whole shrimp in a tremendous amount of butter and black pepper. The essential ingredient is large, heads-on shrimp, since the fat in the shrimp heads makes most of the flavor. Resist the urge to...

Categories     Seafood Appetizers

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lbs fresh gulf shrimp, 16-20 count to the pound (with heads on)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1⁄4 cup dry white wine
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1⁄4 cup black pepper (or as needed to cover all the shrimp in a light film of pepper)
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1 1⁄2 cups butter, softened
2 teaspoons paprika
1 loaf french bread

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the shrimp and shake the excess water from them. Put them in a large skillet (or two) over medium heat, and pour the lemon juice, wine, Worcestershire, and garlic over it. Bring the pan to a light boil and cook, agitating the dish, until the shrimp turn pink.
  • 2. Cover the shrimp with a thin but complete layer of black pepper. You must be bold with this. Trust me, it is almost impossible to use too much pepper in this dish. Continue to cook another couple of minutes, then sprinkle the paprika and salt over the pan.
  • 3. Lower the heat to the minimum. Cut the butter into tablespoon-size pieces, and add three at a time to the pan, agitating the pan as the butter melts over the shrimp. When one batch is completely melted, add another until all the butter is used. Keep agitating the pan to make a creamy-looking, orange-hued sauce.
  • 4. When all the butter is incorporated, serve the shrimp with lots of the sauce in bowls. Serve with hot French bread for dipping. Also plenty of napkins and perhaps bibs.

NEW ORLEANS-STYLE BARBECUE SHRIMP



New Orleans-Style Barbecue Shrimp image

This is our adaptation of a recipe found, I believe, in Southern Living. It's an attempted copycat of Pascal's Manale's amazing Barbecue Shrimp. I don't think it quite as good as the original, but it's pretty darn close! Use head-on shrimp if you can find them ( I never can.) Always cook the shrimp in the sauce. This is MESSY, so put some wet wipes out on the table. Serve with crusty bread--as a waitress at Pascal's Manale said to me once, "the best part is soppin' up the sauce." Green salad and corn on the cob round out your meal!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp. This will ensure that the shrimp are cooked evenly and have a plump, juicy texture.
  • Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes. This will help the shrimp absorb the flavors of the marinade and make them more tender.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp should be cooked for just a few minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served hot and fresh off the grill.

Conclusion:

New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful sauce and then grilled to perfection. The result is a shrimp dish that is both juicy and flavorful. Whether you are serving it as an appetizer or a main course, New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp is sure to be a hit.
