I got this recipe when we visited New Orleans nearly 10 years ago. We had this dish at a restaurant called Pascal's Manale. The next day I bought a cookbook there in New Orleans so I could recreate this recipe at home. Don't forget some good crusty French bread to sop up the barbecue juices!!! Good for dinner parties. Ingredients:
5 lbs large shrimp, in shell, no heads and uncooked |
1 1/2 cups butter |
1/2 cup olive oil |
2 bay leaves, crumbled |
4 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
4 garlic cloves, finely minced |
1 1/2 teaspoons parsley, dried |
2 tablespoons paprika |
2 teaspoons dried oregano |
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper |
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce, tabasco |
2 teaspoons ground black pepper |
1/2 cup chili sauce, prepared jar |
2 lemons, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Rinse and drain the shrimp.
2. Layer shrimp in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
3. Combine all remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes or until butter is melted.
4. Pour mixture over the shrimp and mix to coat shrimp.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. This step marinades the shrimp.
6. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Bake the shrimp for 30 minutes or until shrimp are pink.
7. NOTE: This recipe is great for dinner parties since you complete all steps except baking until just before serving. Let's you enjoy your company.____For shell on shrimp I usually plan on 3/4 pound per person when serving shrimp as main entree.
