How to Make New Orleans Bbq Cajun Shrimp
- In a large bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the BBQ Cajun sauce. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
- Pour in the beer and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy your taste of New Orleans!
- Serve over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread for dipping.
