BEST BBQ SHRIMP EVER

Steps:

• Whisk together the canola oil, hot pepper sauce, garlic, chili sauce, lemon juice, and oregano in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread about 4 shrimp onto each skewer.
• Cook on the preheated grill until pink on the outside and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.

BBQ SHRIMP

Steps:

• Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a very large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and reserved shrimp heads and shells. Cook until the onion and garlic are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the sherry and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Add the rosemary, bay leaf, stock, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and remaining tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce reduces by half, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour the sauce through a wire mesh strainer over a liquid measuring cup. Reserve the strained liquid and discard the solids.
• Melt the butter in the skillet. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the reserved sauce and cook until the shrimp are done, 2 to 3 more minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the grilled bread.

NEW ORLEANS-STYLE BARBECUED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots are soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon slices and cook until they begin to brown, about 1 minute longer, then stir in the shrimp, paprika, thyme, black pepper and salt. Add the Worcestershire sauce and 3 tablespoons water and bring the liquid to a simmer.
• Cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the butter cubes and swirl the pan to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer until the shrimp are pink and just opaque all the way through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with lots of napkins and some crusty bread for sopping up the sauce.

BBQ SHRIMP

Steps:

• Set up your grill for even medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the coals evenly. If using a gas grill, heat both sides evenly.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, paprika, salt, cumin, coriander, cayenne and lime zest and juice. Add the shrimp and allow to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature and up to 3 hours refrigerated.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade and place on a cooling rack in a single layer. Put the cooling rack on the grill and cook the shrimp, pulling the cooling rack off the grill to flip them, until charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• To serve: Add the shrimp to a platter and garnish with lime wedges.

THE BEST NEW ORLEANS BBQ SHRIMP. EVER.

Steps:

• Put the shrimp in one layer in a shallow baking dish that can go in the broiler and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt.
• Dice the onion up and smash the garlic really well with the flat side of a big knife. Don't cut up the garlic, just smash it.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and saute the onions until they're translucent.
• Add the smashed garlic, lemon zest, and the butter to the saucepan. Stir it up.
• Once the butter has melted, add all the seasonings - garlic powder, crab boil, LOTS of cracked pepper (I don't know my exact measurement but I'd say probably 30 "cracks" of the pepper cracker), and 4 big slugs from the Worchestershire sauce bottle. Keep stirring.
• Taste to see if it's spicy enough for you, and if it isn't, add some cayenne - there's cayenne in the crab boil, but some people like a higher level of spiciness than the crab boil can provide.
• Dump in 2 more tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of the lemon while continuously stirring.
• Add half of the beer (keep stirring!) and drink the rest (while stirring.) Once all the foam from the beer is gone and it's bubbling again it's ready.
• Pour the sauce over the shrimp in the baking dish, stir it around, and put it in the broiler.
• Broil for 8 minutes and then stir it up and broil for 5 more minutes (longer if your shrimp are super gigantic) until the shrimp look done (nice and pink) and you have some good brown crusties on top. The shallower your dish is the better it will be - you want the sauce to almost just barely-ish not cover the shrimp so the little bit of exposed surface browns.
• Let it rest for 10 minutes before eating. Serve in a bowl with tons of sauce and hot french bread for dipping!
