Cajun BBQ Shrimp image

This recipe is from Mr. B's in New Orleans. This recipe used whole shrimp in the shell cooked in a peppery butter sauce. Serve this dish in soup bowls and be sure to stir the sauce well when you ladle it out; the solids that settle to the bottom of the pan should be poured over he shrimp along with the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of cajun food, so I'm not sure I would like this recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I might have used too much cajun seasoning.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp came out overcooked. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.
