Description

This authentic New Orleans-style BBQ shrimp is a celebration of bold flavors and simple ingredients. Unlike traditional barbecue, this dish relies on head-on shrimp to infuse the sauce with deep seafood essence. The result is a luxurious, garlic-forward butter sauce spiked with Worcestershire and Creole spices. The shrimp remain tender and sweet, while the sauce becomes rich and slightly tangy from the lemon juice. Its an elegant yet casual dish perfect for date nights or impressing guests. Serve it family-style in a large bowl with plenty of crusty French bread for dipping into every last drop of the savory sauce. Its a memorable meal that captures the spirit of Southern cooking.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. In a large oven-safe saut pan, combine the head-on shrimp, 3 tablespoons of butter, ground black pepper, cracked black pepper, Creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic.
  3. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the pan.
  4. Place the pan in the preheated oven and cook for 2 minutes to begin the cooking process.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a stovetop burner over moderate heat.
  6. Saut the shrimp, swirling the pan occasionally to coat them in the melting butter and spices.
  7. Add the juice of one lemon and the remaining 3 tablespoons of cold butter to the pan.
  8. Continue to swirl the pan and stir with a fork until the remaining butter melts and emulsifies into a rich sauce.
  9. Transfer the shrimp and sauce to a serving bowl.
  10. Serve immediately with plenty of crusty bread for dipping.
