  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup chili sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and a few dashes of Tabasco sauce (to taste).
  2. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, plus a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the sauce.
  6. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and curled, and cooked through. Do not overcook!
