Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 (10-inch) wooden skewers
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 small jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, grated
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1 cup ketchup
16 colossal shrimp, shelled with tail on, deveined (about 1 1/4 pounds)
4 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium.
  • Soak skewers in water while preparing the BBQ sauce. In a medium saucepan melt butter and saute onions and jalapeno, until tender. Season with cayenne, and salt and pepper. Add ginger, brown sugar, orange juice and ketchup in that order making sure to blend each ingredient completely before adding the next ingredient. Let simmer until the edges begin to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Once cool, remove half of the sauce and reserve for dipping. The other half is for brushing on the shrimp when grilling. Cut bacon in thirds. Thread each shrimp onto a skewer, starting from the tail end. Bend the shrimp as you thread it so it lies in 1 straight line on the skewer, removing its natural curve. Wrap the center of each shrimp with a piece of bacon. Brush with BBQ sauce and place skewers with bacon, seam side down, onto the grill. Cook over medium heat until bacon crisps and shrimp is cooked through, about 8 minutes.

whine. DO NOT use margarine! Real butter only.)
2 tbs Creole Seasoning to taste; OR
3-4 tsp cayenne pepper and 3 - 4 teaspoons black pepper, to taste
2 tbs chopped rosemary leaves
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

1 medium onion, very finely minced
3 ribs celery, very finely minced
3-4 tbs chopped parsley
2 tsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice
5 pounds shrimp, heads and shells on.

Sauté the garlic, onions, celery, parsley, rosemary and seasoning blend for about 2 - 3 minutes. Melt the rest of the butter. Add the beer (drink the rest of the bottle).

Shrimp and Grits with Louisiana BBQ Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 1/2 cups cream
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 to 3 tablespoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups grits, such as Logan Turnpike stone-ground grits
1/4 cup onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 stick butter
8 ounces butter
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed chipotle pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 stick butter
1 cup freshly cut corn kernels
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary needles, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sugar, plus more if needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
20 large (size 16-20) shrimp, peeled and deveined with tail on
4 slices lemon, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the grits: Combine 4 cups water, the cream, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and salt, and bring to a boil. In a medium bowl combine the grits, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper. Add the dry ingredients to the boiling liquid, whisking vigorously. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Whisk regularly, every 3 to 5 minutes, so the grits do not stick and burn.
  • Remove from the heat and add the butter, whisking until it's completely incorporated into the grits.
  • For the BBQ sauce: Combine the oil and butter and melt over medium heat. Add the paprika, rosemary, oregano, salt, black pepper and chipotle, and bring to simmer for 15 minutes. Add the garlic and simmer 5 minutes, not letting the garlic brown. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice. Strain and discard the solids (they will burn if you cook the shrimp with them).
  • For the corn: Melt the butter in a medium saute pan and add the corn. Add the sugar and some salt and pepper and cook until the corn is bright yellow and just cooked through.
  • Pour the BBQ sauce in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and add the shrimp. Cook, stirring regularly until firm to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Divide the grits among four serving bowls and add 5 shrimp per bowl. Drizzle some BBQ sauce over the grits and sprinkle some corn on top. Garnish each bowl with a slice of lemon and then serve.

THE BEST NEW ORLEANS BBQ SHRIMP. EVER.



The Best New Orleans BBQ Shrimp. Ever. image

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!

Provided by CptShane

Categories     Cajun

Time 43m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs shrimp, whole, fresh (heads AND tails attached)
1/2 large yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 cup butter, cut into small pieces
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer, Abita Amber Ale
1 large lemon (juice and zest)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons crab boil (I like Zatarain's)
fresh cracked pepper
coarse sea salt
cayenne pepper (optional)

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!

DRUNKEN SHAMELESS SPICY SHRIMP (DINOSAUR BBQ)



Drunken Shameless Spicy Shrimp (Dinosaur BBQ) image

John Stage almost always leaves something out in the recipes he publishes so they are just a little off. In this case, I think he just wrote "creole seasoning" when in fact, this stuff tastes most authentic with a spice they sell around here in the restaurant and in stores called "Cajun Foreplay." Use it generously. Either way these are delicious, especially served with Dinosaur BBQ Cocktail Sauce (recipe # 295318). Not for wimps!
