Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

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)
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature and cut into small cubes
Crusty bread, for dipping

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



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!
