Italian Barbecued Shrimp Recipes

ITALIAN BBQ SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl stir together the brown sugar, salt, paprika, oregano, fennel seed, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Toss the marinated shrimp with the olive oil and place on the heated grill pan. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side or until browned and opaque all the way through. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.
