How to Make Greg Henry's Creole Bbq Shrimp

  1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and cook until melted and foamy, but do not let it brown.
  2. Add the 2 thinly sliced lemons in a single layer and cook undisturbed until they begin to brown, about 4 minutes.
  3. Add 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 4 minced cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Season 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the shrimp to the skillet. They should sizzle as they hit the pan.
  6. Cook, stirring and turning often, until the shrimp are pink and firm to the touch, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  7. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately with crusty bread and additional hot sauce at the table.
