Mr. B’s New Orleans Barbequed Shrimp

Mr. B’s New Orleans Barbequed Shrimp: Submitted by: Mollie Murphy-Davis | Date Added: 24 Jun 2020 Ingredients:

3 tbsp. unsalted butter, plus 12 tbsp. cut into 1/2" cubes and chilled
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1⁄2 cup Crystal hot sauce
1⁄4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. Creole seasoning
4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 1⁄2 - 2 lbs head-on large shrimp, unpeeled (I prefer using peeled with heads off which picks up more flavor!)
Kosher salt, to taste
French bread, for serving

Cooking Instructions:

1. Heat 3 tbsp. butter in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add garlic; cook until soft, 1-2 minutes. Add hot sauce, Worcestershire, juice, Creole seasoning, and pepper. Bring to a simmer; cook until sauce is reduced by half, 5-7 minutes.
3. Add shrimp; cook, flipping once, until cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in chilled butter to make a smooth sauce. Season with salt.
4. Serve with French bread.

(Cook’s note - This is an authentic white tablecloth meal from Mr. B’s in NOLA! You will never want barbequed shrimp cooked any other way! If you want to really kick it up a notch, serve it over stone ground grits!)
