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!

2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons canola oil
6 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
One 12-ounce light-bodied beer
Juice of 1 lemon
One 8-ounce bottle clam juice

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Shrimp

Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ pounds colossal shrimp, EZ-peel type (deveined and shells split down the back)
1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups chicken stock
lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, or more to taste
2 dashes hot sauce, or to taste
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into chunks
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 sprig fresh rosemary for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel shrimp and place into a mixing bowl; set shrimp shells aside in a saucepan.

  • Place reserved shrimp shells in saucepan over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon butter; cook and stir until shells are pink and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in chicken stock, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low; simmer until shrimp shells have given off their flavor, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Strain shrimp stock through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl and add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Place a large skillet over high heat until pan is very hot; sear shrimp in the very hot, dry pan until shrimp are browned, about 1 minute per side.
  • Stir 3 tablespoons cold butter, garlic, and minced rosemary into shrimp; cook and stir until shrimp are opaque in the middle and garlic is fragrant, 1 minute. Pour in shrimp stock.
  • Transfer shrimp from skillet to a bowl, using a slotted spoon; reserve sauce in skillet. Bring sauce to a boil and cook until reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste. Return shrimp to pan, reduce heat to low, and warm through, about 1 minute. Serve shrimp drizzled with pan sauce; garnish with a rosemary sprig.

Yield 2 to 4 Servings

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, minced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1/2 large lemon, sliced crosswise into five 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 pound shell-on, deveined large shrimp
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground dried thyme (see Cook's Note)

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 42m

Yield 8 main course servings, or 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 pounds fresh or frozen large or extra-large shrimp (21 to 25 count/per pound), in the shell, see note
5 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon salt, plus 2 teaspoons
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 medium onions, peeled and finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 cup ketchup
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 lemon, sliced
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Several dashes Louisiana-style hot sauce

Steps:

  • Cook's Note: You can buy large, frozen tiger shrimp that have been deveined but are still in the shell. If you use these, thaw them according to the package directions. If using fresh shrimp, you can ask the person at the fish counter to devein them for you in the shell. You can also do this yourself: Using kitchen shears, cut the shell along the vein and pull the vein out with your fingers. Or, you can just skip the deveining process. The vein won't hurt you.
  • Combine 3 tablespoons of the chili powder and 1 tablespoon of the salt in a small bowl. Rub the shrimp with this mixture, making sure you rub some into the open cut where the shrimp as been deveined (if applicable) to season the shrimp inside the shell. Place the shrimp in a shallow, non-reactive pan, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the sauce.
  • In a saucepan set over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft, but not browned. Add the ketchup, oil, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon, lemon juice, bay leaves, oregano, thyme, and cayenne, as well as the remaining 2 tablespoons chili powder and 2 teaspoons salt. Stir to mix. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until thick. Remove from the heat, uncover, and cool to room temperature. Remove and discard the lemon slices and bay leaves. Pour 1 1/2 cups of the sauce over the shrimp. Toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate the shrimp for 1 to 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate the remaining sauce separately and save for dipping.
  • Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill for direct grilling over high heat.
  • While the grill is heating, reheat the remaining sauce in a small, covered saucepan over very low heat, it will only take a few minutes. Watch the sauce carefully so that it doesn't burn.
  • Remove the shrimp from the pan and discard the marinade. Grill the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the shells are orangey-pink. To test for doneness, take a shrimp off the grill, remove the shell and cut the shrimp in half: The flesh should be white and firm throughout.
  • Serve with the warm sauce for dipping, and a large bowl for the shells.

PASCAL'S MANALE BBQ SHRIMP



PASCAL'S MANALE BBQ SHRIMP image

Categories     Shellfish

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds butter (Yes, you read right. Two pounds. Eight sticks. Don't
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
6 ounces good beer (microbrewery is preferable to mainstream swill)
5-10 cloves garlic, finely minced (or as much as you like)
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.

Steps:

  • [This feeds 8-10 people, BTW ... cut it in half if you need to.] Melt a stick of the butter in a skillet. 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). Add the sauteed stuff, Worcestershire and lemon juice. Drown the shrimp in the seasoned butter, using as many baking dishes as you need. Make sure the shrimp are more or less submerged. If they're not ... melt more butter and add to the sauce. (Aah, what the hell ... what's another stick or two when you're already up to these butterfat levels?) Bake in a 350 degree oven until the shrimp turn pink, about 15 minutes. Serve in big bowls. Put in a handful of shrimp and ladle lots of hes when eating this!) Serve with plenty of French bread to sop up da sauce!

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will give your dish the best flavor. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and lock in the flavor.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Barbecue shrimp is best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Barbecue shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give barbecue shrimp a try.
