Sassy Barbecued Shrimp Food

NEW ORLEANS-STYLE BARBECUED SHRIMP

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.

• Thread shrimp onto skewers and place in a shallow dish. Pour 1/2 cup soy sauce, sake, and 2 tablespoons oil over the shrimp and season them with salt and pepper. Set aside and let them marinate while you make the barbecue sauce.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, hoisin sauce, vinegar, chili paste, sugar, and chili powder. Cook until the mixture has thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes. Use an immersion blender to break the tomatoes up into a chunky sauce.
• Heat a grill or a grill pan and cook the shrimp about 3 minutes per side. To serve, spread some barbecue sauce onto a large platter and place the grilled shrimp skewers on top of that. Garnish with avocado, scallions, and lime wedges. Serve extra barbecue sauce on the side.

BARBECUED COLOSSAL SHRIMP

Steps:

• THESE ARE THE COLOSSAL SIZE SHRIMP, NOT JUMBO AS IT SAYS IN THE INGREDIENTS (CAN'T SEEM TO GET COLOSSAL SIZE TO PRINT.).
• Using a sharp knife, butterfly each COLOSSAL shrimp through the back area where the vein has been removed.
• Place them shell side DOWN side by side flat on the perforated grill.
• Sprinkle each shrimp with lemon pepper, garlic salt and a couple drops of hot sauce (more if you like them real spicy).
• Baste each shrimp with a bit of olive oil using a brush.
• Begin cooking on barbecue set at ~350°F (temperature will drop slightly when the shrimp are added). Continue cooking ~18 minute or until when touched, shrimp meat will spring back.
• We serve these large beauties 3-4 on a plate and allow our guests to remove the shell part themselves. (You can also remove the shells prior to serving.).
• This is great on a hot summer evening with vegetable salads, some crusty bread and a great bottle of wine. Hope you enjoy!

MISSISSIPPI BARBECUED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large, heavy pot, melt the butter with the olive oil.
• Add the green onions, rosemary and thyme and saute over low heat.
• Squeeze all the cloves out of the baked garlic into the pot and stir, combining all the wonderful flavors.
• Add the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, wine, and parsley and let it all come to a very slow boil, then simmer and taste.
• Season with salt, pepper, Tabasco, and the optional brown sugar.
• Once the taste is so good you need a straw, turn up the heat and add the shrimp, shells and all!
• Stir and cook the shrimp just until the shrimp turn pink, about 5 minutes.
• Take the pot to the table and serve.
• **To somewhat lower the fat content, chicken broth can be used for some of the butter, but it's not quite as good.
