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.

GRILLED NEW ORLEANS-STYLE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Snip shells of shrimp with scissors down middle of back, leaving tail and first segment of shell intact. Make an incision along length of back where shells are cut and devein, leaving shells in place. (Shells will prevent shrimp from becoming tough on outside when grilled.) Toss shrimp with oil, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and marinate at cool room temperature 15 minutes.
• While shrimp marinate, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
• Heat butter, chili powder, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until butter is melted, then remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
• Thread 4 or 5 shrimp onto each skewer and grill, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes total. Push shrimp off skewers into a bowl, then pour butter mixture over them and toss to combine well.

NEW ORLEANS STYLE BBQ SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan melt your butter with the olive oil. When almost melted add all your herbs, lemon juice, hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, seasonings and finely chopped veggies. Keep heat at Med until your veggies start to look translucent.
• Add your wine and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to low and simmer for 6 minutes.
• If you want to go the extra effort you can slice along the tops of the shrimp with a sharp knife and de-vein them with the peel on. It takes a steady hand, but they end up easier to peel and soak up more of the flavors in the sauce. Use a clean dish rag under the shrimp to avoid slipping. This also takes longer and the shrimp is still amazing without this process.
• Spread your shrimp out on a baking dish. Pour your sauce over the shrimp.
• Place pan in the oven and broil for 5 minutes. Using a spatula carefully turn the shrimp over and broil on other side for another 5 minutes. More or less time on each side depending on size of shrimp. You might want to just flip them when the top side turns nice and pink. Over cooking = tough shrimp and that's not good.
• Divide into 4ths and serve in bowls. Make sure to get that sauce/juice in there to dunk your french bread into.
• A nice glass of Pino Grigio, and a small garden salad makes for a perfect meal.
• I made these for a dinner party and provided little bowls of water with slices of lemon for them to dunk and clean their hands in after.
