Shrimp Barbeque Recipe
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.
Ingredients
- 6 lbs fresh shrimp
- 6 sticks of butter (yes, that is 1-1/2 lbs)
- 2 bay leaves, crumbled ( dried bay is more flavorful than fresh, so use dry here)
- 1 cup of good beer (no Light anything - real beer. Like wine, you want to cook with good beer)
- 5 toes of garlic, finely minced
- 1 T Italian parsley, finely chopped
- 4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- Rinse the shrimp in cold water and drain
- Saute all the other ingredients in a sauce pan for 10 minutes
- Lay the shrimps in a shallow roasting pan
- Pour the sauce over the shrinps
- Slide the shrimps into the oven and bake for 30 minutes, with an occasional stir
- Ladle into soup bowls
- There will be very little conversation while this dish is being consumed.
- SERVE WITH A FRESH, CRUSTY BREAD...
