Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots are soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon slices and cook until they begin to brown, about 1 minute longer, then stir in the shrimp, paprika, thyme, black pepper and salt. Add the Worcestershire sauce and 3 tablespoons water and bring the liquid to a simmer.
- Cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the butter cubes and swirl the pan to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer until the shrimp are pink and just opaque all the way through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with lots of napkins and some crusty bread for sopping up the sauce.

NEW ORLEANS BARBECUE SHRIMP
Barbecue shrimp is an old New Orleans recipe that has nothing to do with barbecue or with grilling. Its name comes from the spicy, smoky flavor the shrimp derive from being cooked with Worcestershire sauce and lots of black pepper. It is a fine and almost absurdly fast dish - once the shrimp are peeled, you can have it on the table in 10 minutes - with a rich, savory sauce that completely belies the little effort it takes. But as I discovered once I started playing around with it, the key ingredient is neither Worcestershire sauce nor pepper, but rather butter. If you start with about a tablespoon for each serving of shrimp, you can add almost any flavor you like and create a sauce with the same creaminess and rich flavor. But start with Worcestershire sauce and pepper!

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!
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. This will give your dish the best flavor.
- Clean the shrimp properly. Devein and peel the shrimp, then rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give your shrimp most of its flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Some good options include a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger.
- Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to caramelize the shrimp and give them a nice smoky flavor.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them and not overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. BBQ shrimp is best served hot off the grill, so make sure to serve it as soon as it's cooked.
Conclusion:
BBQ shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're having a party or just want a quick and easy meal, BBQ shrimp is a great option. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying dish, give BBQ shrimp a try.
