Cajun BBQ Shrimp image

This recipe is from Mr. B's in New Orleans. This recipe used whole shrimp in the shell cooked in a peppery butter sauce. Serve this dish in soup bowls and be sure to stir the sauce well when you ladle it out; the solids that settle to the bottom of the pan should be poured over he shrimp along with the sauce.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some cooked shrimp in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I thought the sauce was a bit too spicy, but the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I will try again with less cayenne pepper.

The shrimp were a little overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I will try again with a shorter cooking time.
