Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, minced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1/2 large lemon, sliced crosswise into five 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 pound shell-on, deveined large shrimp
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground dried thyme (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature and cut into small cubes
Crusty bread, for dipping

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots are soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon slices and cook until they begin to brown, about 1 minute longer, then stir in the shrimp, paprika, thyme, black pepper and salt. Add the Worcestershire sauce and 3 tablespoons water and bring the liquid to a simmer.
  • Cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the butter cubes and swirl the pan to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer until the shrimp are pink and just opaque all the way through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with lots of napkins and some crusty bread for sopping up the sauce.

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!

Mr. Jim's Louisiana BBQ Shrimp image

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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons), rinds reserved and sliced
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1 pound (about 30) medium to large shrimp, peeled, heads (optional) and tails on
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
Baguette, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a 12-inch skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat. Add butter, and cook until melted and foamy. Add garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice and rinds. Stir in Worcestershire and hot sauces, and bring to a simmer.
  • Season shrimp with salt and pepper; add to skillet. Cook until pink and firm to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with pepper. Serve with baguette.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Jumbo or extra-large shrimp are the best for this recipe, as they will hold up well to the grilling process.
  • Make sure the shrimp is deveined and peeled. This will help the marinade to penetrate the shrimp and flavor it evenly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe is a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. You can adjust the proportions of these ingredients to suit your taste.
  • Let the shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the shrimp and flavor it.
  • Grill the shrimp over high heat. This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the shrimp while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Grilled shrimp is best served hot off the grill. You can garnish it with parsley, lemon wedges, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Billy's Barbeque Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and then grilled to perfection.
