Despite what restaurants outside of south Louisiana serve, BBQ Shrimp is NOT shrimp with BBQ sauce! In its most basic form, BBQ Shrimp is whole shrimp sautéed in spices and butter. Emeild had a recipe on Food that sounded amazing (and time consuming) that I will have to try. Sometimes it is better to put a little more effort into your food! This is BBQ Shrimp the fast and easy way!
BBQ Shrimp
For 2-3
2 lb whole, fresh shrimp
1/2 c butter
1 t cayenne pepper
1 t paprika
1 T slap yo mama ( Cajun seasoning)
2 T balsamic vinegar
Take the heads off the shrimp and rinse them. In a large skillet with sides, melt butter. Add cayenne, paprika and slap yo mama. Add shrimp and stir to coat. Add balsamic vinegar and stir. Cook until shrimp are cooked through. Cook them just until they are done because over cooked shrimp is awful. Serve imediatly with French bread for dipping.
