New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp
(Serves 4-6)
Ingredients
- 3 pounds large gulf shrimp, heads on and in their shells
- 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons torn fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Peel the shrimp, leaving their heads attached. Sprinkle the shrimp with Creole seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Use your hands to completely coat the shrimp with the seasonings.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the seasoned shrimp and sauté them for 2 minutes, occasionally shaking the skillet. Add the garlic. Deglaze the pan with wine and add the Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Cook for another 2 minutes. Add the torn parsley.
Remove the shrimp from the pan reserving the liquids. Return the pan to the flame and add the butter to combine. Pour the sauce over the waiting shrimp. Garnish with homemade croutons and enjoy.
