Provided by á-75862

Number Of Ingredients 18

Special equipment:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
5 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 1/4 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp, tails removed
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
3 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped and loosely packed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crackers and crunchy rustic bread for serving
5-cup broiler-safe casserole dish

Steps:

  • Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the chili sauce, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire, cayenne, oregano, paprika and hot sauce. Bring to a low simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and just cooked through, flipping once, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. When cool, place the shimp mixture in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. (The shrimp mixture can be made up to a day in advance and refrigerated.) Combine the cream cheese and sour cream in a large bowl and stir vigorously with a rubber spatula until smooth. Add the shrimp mixture, scallion whites, parsley, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper and stir to combine. Place in a 5-cup broiler-safe casserole dish and spread evenly. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and pour over the top of the shrimp dip, making sure to cover the entire surface with a thin layer of butter. Sprinkle with the scallion greens. Chill for at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Just before serving, position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the broiler. Broil the dip until the butter layer just begins to melt. Serve with the crackers and crunchy bread.

NEW ORLEANS BARBECUE SHRIMP



New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp image

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!

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 1/2 to 2 pounds peeled shrimp
2 tablespoons Worcestershire or soy sauce
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon or more fresh black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Put butter in skillet, and turn heat to high; when it melts, add garlic, shrimp and Worcestershire or soy sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick and shrimp uniformly pink, about 5 minutes. If sauce threatens to dry out, add a tablespoon or two of water.
  • When shrimp are done, add salt and pepper, then lemon juice. Serve over rice or with bread.

NEW ORLEANS BARBECUED SHRIMP APPETIZER



New Orleans Barbecued Shrimp Appetizer image

There are so many variations of this recipe. Supposedly, the Italian restaurant, Pascale Manalli's, in New Orleans, were the originators of "Barbecued Shrimp," which really have nothing to do with barbecue sauce, or a barbecue pit. Basically, it is unpeeled shrimp, with the heads still on, sauteed or baked in either a spicy butter herb sauce, or an olive oil based sauce. It's messy, so have lots of napkins, but one of the most delicious ways of preparing shrimp that there is. Here is my version of the recipe. Bon appetite! :)

6 jumbo shrimp, unpeeled with heads still attached

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

cayenne pepper
1/3 cup beer (I use a dark beer)
1 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
chopped parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse and pat dry shrimp. Place in pie plate in single layer. Melt butter on medium heat. Add rosemary, oregano, thyme, garlic, cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper and beer. Simmer on low for about 7 minutes so that herbs and seasoning can flavor butter. Pour over shrimp. Bake in oven until shrimp turn pink. DO NOT OVERCOOK! Mix together lemon juice and worchestershire sauce and pour over shrimp. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve in shallow soup plate with crusty french bread to sop up the sauce with.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Thaw frozen shrimp before using. You can also use cooked shrimp, but fresh shrimp will give the dip a better flavor.
  • Chop the shrimp finely. This will help the shrimp to distribute evenly throughout the dip.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce. The barbecue sauce is the key ingredient in this dip, so make sure to use one that you like. You can use your favorite bottled barbecue sauce or make your own.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the dip warm. This dip is best served warm, so make sure to heat it through before serving.
  • Garnish the dip with fresh parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dip.

Conclusion:

New Orleans barbecue shrimp dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. It is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Serve it with your favorite crackers, chips, or vegetables for a crowd-pleasing snack.
