Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium.
- Soak skewers in water while preparing the BBQ sauce. In a medium saucepan melt butter and saute onions and jalapeno, until tender. Season with cayenne, and salt and pepper. Add ginger, brown sugar, orange juice and ketchup in that order making sure to blend each ingredient completely before adding the next ingredient. Let simmer until the edges begin to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Once cool, remove half of the sauce and reserve for dipping. The other half is for brushing on the shrimp when grilling. Cut bacon in thirds. Thread each shrimp onto a skewer, starting from the tail end. Bend the shrimp as you thread it so it lies in 1 straight line on the skewer, removing its natural curve. Wrap the center of each shrimp with a piece of bacon. Brush with BBQ sauce and place skewers with bacon, seam side down, onto the grill. Cook over medium heat until bacon crisps and shrimp is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
MR. JIM'S LOUISIANA BBQ SHRIMP
Louisiana "barbecued" shrimp never touch an actual barbecue. Created at Pascal's Manale restaurant in New Orleans in 1954, the recipe has become a southern staple. The approach may vary, but it's certain to include ample amounts of shrimp, butter, and garlic. This version is served with French bread for soaking up the rich sauce.

SHRIMP AND GRITS WITH LOUISIANA BBQ SAUCE
Steps:
- For the grits: Combine 4 cups water, the cream, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and salt, and bring to a boil. In a medium bowl combine the grits, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper. Add the dry ingredients to the boiling liquid, whisking vigorously. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Whisk regularly, every 3 to 5 minutes, so the grits do not stick and burn.
- Remove from the heat and add the butter, whisking until it's completely incorporated into the grits.
- For the BBQ sauce: Combine the oil and butter and melt over medium heat. Add the paprika, rosemary, oregano, salt, black pepper and chipotle, and bring to simmer for 15 minutes. Add the garlic and simmer 5 minutes, not letting the garlic brown. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice. Strain and discard the solids (they will burn if you cook the shrimp with them).
- For the corn: Melt the butter in a medium saute pan and add the corn. Add the sugar and some salt and pepper and cook until the corn is bright yellow and just cooked through.
- Pour the BBQ sauce in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and add the shrimp. Cook, stirring regularly until firm to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Divide the grits among four serving bowls and add 5 shrimp per bowl. Drizzle some BBQ sauce over the grits and sprinkle some corn on top. Garnish each bowl with a slice of lemon and then serve.
THE BEST NEW ORLEANS BBQ SHRIMP. EVER.
I perfected my BBQ shrimp recipe after cobbling together elements of many other recipes. BBQ shrimp is a classic New Orleans dish, purportedly invented at Pascal's Manale. It's not an accurate name, though - there is no barbecue sauce involved and the shrimp don't go anywhere near a grill. Having fresh shrimp is very important! The Abita imparts a unique flavor, too - if you can get Abita in your area, definitely use it, but if you need to substitute, choose a mild amber ale. Nothing too hoppy and nothing too plain. This recipe will serve 4 as a main dish or up to 8 as an appetizer. This is a dish you eat with your hands - messy and fun!

Steps:
- Put the shrimp in one layer in a shallow baking dish that can go in the broiler and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt.
- Dice the onion up and smash the garlic really well with the flat side of a big knife. Don't cut up the garlic, just smash it.
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and saute the onions until they're translucent.
- Add the smashed garlic, lemon zest, and the butter to the saucepan. Stir it up.
- Once the butter has melted, add all the seasonings - garlic powder, crab boil, LOTS of cracked pepper (I don't know my exact measurement but I'd say probably 30 "cracks" of the pepper cracker), and 4 big slugs from the Worchestershire sauce bottle. Keep stirring.
- Taste to see if it's spicy enough for you, and if it isn't, add some cayenne - there's cayenne in the crab boil, but some people like a higher level of spiciness than the crab boil can provide.
- Dump in 2 more tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of the lemon while continuously stirring.
- Add half of the beer (keep stirring!) and drink the rest (while stirring.) Once all the foam from the beer is gone and it's bubbling again it's ready.
- Pour the sauce over the shrimp in the baking dish, stir it around, and put it in the broiler.
- Broil for 8 minutes and then stir it up and broil for 5 more minutes (longer if your shrimp are super gigantic) until the shrimp look done (nice and pink) and you have some good brown crusties on top. The shallower your dish is the better it will be - you want the sauce to almost just barely-ish not cover the shrimp so the little bit of exposed surface browns.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes before eating. Serve in a bowl with tons of sauce and hot french bread for dipping!

Steps:
- Cook the rice sticks according to the package instructions. Rinse with cold water thoroughly after cooking, drain in a colander and set aside. Marinate the shrimp with all the ingredients in the BBQ Shrimp Marinade for 30 minutes. Prepare and cut all the vegetables and herbs. Fire up your BBQ pit and grill the shrimp until they are properly cooked. Divide the rice sticks, vegetables and herbs into 3 portions and transfer them into 3 bowls. (The rice sticks should sit on top of the vegetables and herbs). Transfer 4 shrimps into each serving, sprinkle some ground peanuts, and pour some nuoc cham (fish sauce) into the noodles. Serve immediately. Nuoc Cham (Fish Sauce or Vietnamese Dipping Sauce) Recipe Ingredients: 1/4 cup fish sauce 1/2 cup warm water 1/4 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon sugar (if you like it sweeter) 3 tablespoon lime juice Method: Add fish sauce, water, sugar and lime juice in a small bowl and mix well. Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved. Cook's Notes: 1.To jazz up the taste, add some garlic chili sauce and mix well with the fish sauce (nuoc cham) before serving. 2.For the nuoc cham recipe, different brand of fish sauce tastes differently, so adjust the sugar, warm water level to your liking. If it's too salty or strong for your taste, add more water and sugar. 3.For fish sauce, I recommend 3 Crabs brand Fish Sauce.

DRUNKEN SHAMELESS SPICY SHRIMP (DINOSAUR BBQ)
John Stage almost always leaves something out in the recipes he publishes so they are just a little off. In this case, I think he just wrote "creole seasoning" when in fact, this stuff tastes most authentic with a spice they sell around here in the restaurant and in stores called "Cajun Foreplay." Use it generously. Either way these are delicious, especially served with Dinosaur BBQ Cocktail Sauce (recipe # 295318). Not for wimps!

Steps:
- Place a large cast iron skillet on a burner and heat over high heat. Add oil and cook shrimp until they are just done. It's best to prepare shrimp in batches if you do not have large skillet. Remove shrimp and set aside on a large platter. Add green onions to the oil in the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Add white wine and let simmer until it is reduced by half. When the wine is reduced by half, add chopped garlic, Worcestershire, Tabasco, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Shake the pan well and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low. Cut butter into small chunks with the knife and slowly add into pan, shaking fast to melt butter. Continue to add butter and shake until all butter is melted. Add shrimp back to pan and toss well to coat shrimp with butter and seasonings and to heat the shrimp. Place shrimp on four plates and enjoy.

Steps:
- Place prawns in a shallow dish or large plastic ziplock bag.
- Blend together all the remaining ingredients and pour over the prawns. Turn to coat well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- BBQ prawns for 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked. Do not overcook as they will become tough. Baste during the first couple of minutes of cooking time.
- Serve sprinkled with some extra chopped coriander, parsley or shallots with either some rice or a salad.
Tips:
- Use fresh, large shrimp. Smaller shrimp will cook too quickly and become tough.
- Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the shrimp and infuse them with flavor.
- Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to caramelize the shrimp and give them a nice smoky flavor.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them to prevent them from becoming tough.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include melted butter, cocktail sauce, and tartar sauce.
Conclusion:
BBQ shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're grilling in the backyard or cooking indoors, these tips will help you make the best BBQ shrimp possible. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give BBQ shrimp a try!
