Description

I’m not sure why this is called BBQ shrimp because it has nothing to do with being BBQ. We tried to recreate a dish we had in New Orleans and it turned out fantastic.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Garlic, Minced
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Seasoning Mix, See Recipe Below
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Parsley
  • 1-¼ pound Shrimp, 21-25 Count
  • ¾ cups Unsalted Butter

Preparation

SEASONING MIX
¼ cup cayenne
¼ cup ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon dried whole thyme
1 tablespoons dried rosemary leaves 1 teaspoon dry oregano

Mix all the seasoning mix ingredients and set aside. You will have extra for next time. Stored in a sealed container, it will keep indefinitely for future use.

Blend the garlic, olive oil, 2 T seasoning mix, lemon juice, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl.

Add the shrimp and the chopped parsley to the mixture and toss well to coat.

Refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 500°F.

Place shrimp with the marinade in a large, heavy skillet (large enough to fit shrimp in a single layer) and place in oven.

In about 2 to 3 minutes, shake the pan to ensure even cooking and repeat in another 2 to 3 minutes.

At this point the mixture should be bubbling and the shrimp will be turning opaque.

Transfer the pan to a stove top, over medium heat and begin adding the butter in 1 to 2 T increments, shaking the pan the entire time, allowing the butter to emulsify into the mixture before adding any more butter.

This process should take about 4 to 5 minutes.

When completed, pour onto a platter and serve immediately with plenty of good, crispy bread – you will need it to sop up the delicious sauce.
