Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 1/2 cups cream
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 to 3 tablespoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups grits, such as Logan Turnpike stone-ground grits
1/4 cup onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 stick butter
8 ounces butter
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed chipotle pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 stick butter
1 cup freshly cut corn kernels
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary needles, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sugar, plus more if needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
20 large (size 16-20) shrimp, peeled and deveined with tail on
4 slices lemon, for garnish

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.

MR. JIM'S LOUISIANA BBQ SHRIMP



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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
  • Use fresh seafood: For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will also work, but make sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque: The shrimp are done cooking when they are pink and opaque all the way through. Do not overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The sauce for this dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to cook the shrimp.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will become tough and rubbery if they are allowed to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

David's Louisiana BBQ Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce that is made with butter, garlic, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. The shrimp are then served over rice or pasta.
