[email protected] Mama’s BBQ Shrimp Shrimp season is in full swing and they are large and plentiful! I’m fishing in Grand Isle and staying at Bridgeside Marina, which means I’ve got access to shrimp right off the boat. My Mom taught this recipe to me and I’ve been using it for 45 years! Easy and tastes great. Figure on ½ to ¾ pound per person. Ingredients (Serves 4): 2 ½ pounds 16-20 count head on shrimp 2 ½ sticks unsalted butter 2 ounces olive oil 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 3 tablespoons white wine, drinkable quality 4 tablespoons McCormick’s BBQ spice 2-3 tablespoons coarse ground cracked black pepper French bread for dipping Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a small pot. Add olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, white wine and blend with a wisk. Put shrimp in a large casserole dish. Pour butter sauce on shrimp and stir gently to coat. Sprinkle on the BBQ seasoning and black pepper. Stir. Put in over for 15 minutes. Remove and stir gently. Return to oven for 15 minutes, no longer or shrimp will be overcooked and hard to peel. Serve hot with cup up French bread for dipping. Eat today, diet tomorrow! You can reach me at HYPERLINK "mailto:[email protected]" [email protected] for comments or questions.
