Rodney Scott's Secret Eastern Carolina Barbecue Sauce image

I'm showing you exactly what goes into this world-famous BBQ sauce. Well, not exactly exact, since no real pitmaster would ever reveal their ingredients. But based on what Rodney Scott's said about this sauce in interviews, videos, and tv shows, I think this is really, really close. Sauce is safe unrefrigerated but will last longer if kept in the fridge, for up to two months.

Tips:

Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
Use fresh ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh seafood, vegetables, and herbs.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking seafood, or shrimp in particular, don't overcrowd the pan; otherwise, the seafood will steam instead of sear.
Cook over high heat: Seafood cooks quickly, so cook it over high heat to prevent it from becoming tough.
Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood is delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and cooked through.
Use a variety of spices and herbs: Seafood pairs well with a variety of spices and herbs, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some popular choices include garlic, lemon, dill, and paprika.
Serve immediately: Seafood is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve its flavor and texture.
