How to Make New Orleans Spicy Barbecued Shrimp
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning, 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Remove from heat and let the butter mixture cool completely to room temperature. This step is crucial for preventing the shrimp from cooking prematurely.
- Rinse 2 pounds of large shrimp thoroughly under cold water. Do not peel or devein the shrimp at this stage.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the shrimp in a 13x9 inch glass baking dish.
- Pour the cooled butter mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the shrimp and your oven.
- Serve immediately with plenty of crusty French bread for dipping in the delicious sauce and a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
