How to Make New Orleans Style Bbq Shrimp
- Rinse 1 pound of shrimp under cold water.
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and set aside.
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped yellow onion, 1/4 cup of minced garlic, 1/4 cup of chopped green bell pepper, and 1/4 cup of chopped celery. Stir to combine.
- Add 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet.
- Turn the heat to high and cook, stirring often, for 5-10 minutes, or until the shrimp curl and turn pink. Do not overcook!
- Serve immediately over rice or crusty bread, spooning the delicious sauce over the shrimp.
- Peel and enjoy! Dipping in extra sauce is highly encouraged.
