    New Orleans style BBQ Shrimp...no grilling here! This is shrimp cooked shell-on in a rich, buttery, flavorful sauce. The link below includes some history on this dish.

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb large shrimp, shell and head on
    • black pepper
    • Tony's Creole seasoning
    • salt
    • 1 stick butter
    • about 1/4 c finely chopped onion
    • 4 large cloves finely chopped garlic
    • 1/4 c Worcestershire sauce
    • 5-7 shakes hot sauce
    • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary (crushed in your hand)
    • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
    • juice of 1 medium lemon (or to taste, I like lemon)

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350.
    2. Rinse shrimp in cold water and drain. Place shrimp in a baking dish and sprinkle with a layer of black pepper and Tony's. Sprinkle with salt, but not too much since Worcestershire sauce is salty. Let shrimp sit while you make the sauce.
    3. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onions, garlic, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dried herbs, and lemon juice.
    4. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the shrimp. Bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes, basting every 5 or so minutes. Adjust baking time according to the size of your shrimp--colossal shrimp may take longer than 15 minutes.
    5. Serve with French bread for dipping in the sauce.
    6. Note: if you'd like lots of sauce, consider adding about 3/4 c of white wine or beer. Or about 1/2 c Italian salad dressing.
