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:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until lightly browned and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute on each side. Increase the heat to high and add the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes, then remove the shrimp from skillet.
- Add the beer and rosemary and stir to deglaze the pan. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Return the shrimp to the pan and quickly toss to coat the shrimp in the sauce, but do not overcook. Serve immediately with the bread.
NEW ORLEANS BBQ CAJUN SHRIMP
I found this recipe online and as I like all things "Cajun" I was not disappointed. This calls for beer, as I have had it in New Orleans. I like it with beer better than the sherry/white wine recipes.

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.

NEW ORLEANS BBQ SHRIMP FOR 2
N.O. BBQ shrimp is not grilled or BBQ, it is a skillet dish in a buttery sauce. They serve it with heads-on shrimp that are not peeled and claim that the unpeeled shrimp impart a flavor that you won't get with peeled, which translates to the chefs are too lazy to peel the shrimp. Use chicken broth if it's all you can get, but FYI Knorr makes an excellent shrimp bouillion you can buy at Hispanic groceries that really rounds this dish out.

Steps:
- In a hot heavy skillet melt 1 stick butter and add garlic, Worcestershire and spices.
- Add shrimp and boil 2 minutes, shaking pan rather than stirring.
- Add remaining butter and stock and boil 2 more minutes.
- Add beer, flip or stir shrimp and cook 1-2 minutes.
- Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Use fresh or frozen shrimp that are peeled and deveined. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Make sure the shrimp is dry: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the marinade adhere to the shrimp and prevent the shrimp from steaming instead of frying.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the shrimp its flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that you like. The recipe in the article uses a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
- Cook the shrimp over high heat: This will help to sear the shrimp and give it a nice caramelized crust. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: BBQ shrimp is best served hot off the grill. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, corn on the cob, or coleslaw.
