New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp
4 lbs Gulf Shrimp (or 13-15/lb. size tigers)
1 lb butter
1 cup olive oil
4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground thyme
4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground oregano
1 tsp ground basil
2 tsp paprika
6 tsp crushed garlic
2 tsp ground rosemary
4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp Tabasco sauce
2 tsp Liquid smoke
1 tsp lemon juice
3 bay leaves (finely crushed)
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
Rinse shrimp and drain. Spread out in a shallow baking pan.
Combine remaining ingredients in sauce pan over low heat until butter is melted. Pour over shrimp. Marinate for several hours (or overnight), turning and basting several times.
Bake at 325 F until shrimp turn pink, turning every 10 minutes for even cooking (cook no more than 30 minutes).
Serve in deep bowls with crusty French baguettes to soak up the yummy sauce.
Notes: I peel the shrimp first myself. I also serve hot steamed rice for those that want their shrimp on top. Something really sweet seems just right after this!
