Shrimp Barbeque Recipe

Shrimp Barbeque

Watch out! There is alot of butter in this dish - but life is an adventure and we have to occasionally take some risks! You will want a good French bread for dipping in the sauce & you'd better wear a napkin - or better yet, a lobster bib, too. If you are a child of N'awlins Creole and Cajun cooking, you know how to eat mudbugs (craw - or crayfish). There is substantial flavor in the heads of these shrimps, so you are advised to give 'em a suck. This is a 'peel and eat' dish and a great recipe from my culinary mentor, Chef Austin Leslie.
