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.

Provided by á-75862

Number Of Ingredients 18

Special equipment:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
5 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 1/4 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp, tails removed
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
3 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped and loosely packed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crackers and crunchy rustic bread for serving
5-cup broiler-safe casserole dish

Steps:

  • Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the chili sauce, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire, cayenne, oregano, paprika and hot sauce. Bring to a low simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and just cooked through, flipping once, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. When cool, place the shimp mixture in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. (The shrimp mixture can be made up to a day in advance and refrigerated.) Combine the cream cheese and sour cream in a large bowl and stir vigorously with a rubber spatula until smooth. Add the shrimp mixture, scallion whites, parsley, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper and stir to combine. Place in a 5-cup broiler-safe casserole dish and spread evenly. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and pour over the top of the shrimp dip, making sure to cover the entire surface with a thin layer of butter. Sprinkle with the scallion greens. Chill for at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Just before serving, position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the broiler. Broil the dip until the butter layer just begins to melt. Serve with the crackers and crunchy bread.

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!

NEW ORLEANS STYLE BBQ SHRIMP



New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp image

My husband fell in love with this dish on a business trip to New Orleans and decided I had to learn how to make it. The good news there is I got to go to New Orleans, not just for that but it worked in my favor. I found the recipe there and we love to eat this dish on special occasions. *Note this is not BBQ as in typical...

Categories     Seafood

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deviened
1 stick butter
1/2 c olive oil
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 bay leaves
1 Tbsp black pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1 Tbsp rosemary
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp oregano
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp Tobasco sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all ingredients except shrimp and warm until butter is melted. This can be done in microwave or oven at 350 degrees. I use the microwave.
  • 2. Add shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink, this won't take long usually 5 minutes. If using microwave watch carefully checking every 1-2 minutes so you don't end up with tough shrimp which would ruin the dish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To devein the shrimp, make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the shrimp. This will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use your favorite barbecue sauce for the dip. You can also use a combination of different sauces to create your own unique flavor.
  • Serve the dip with crackers, chips, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. It is made with fresh shrimp, a creamy sauce, and a flavorful barbecue sauce. The dip can be served with crackers, chips, or vegetables. This dip is sure to be a hit with your guests!
