New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp Recipe

I fixed this just last Saturday. Boy was it great!! This recipe is from a New Orleans restaurant cookbook, but they don't fix it this way in their restaurant now. For 4 pounds of shrimp I used 1 1/2 times the sauce and cooked them in two batches.

Melt butter in olive oil. Add all other ingredients except shrimp. Let sauce stand for at least 15 minutes. An hour or two won't hurt. When ready to cook, add shrimp to skillet and cook for 10-15 minutes or until they are pink all over. String often. Divide shrimp into individual bowls. Pour sauce over shrimp and serve with French bread for dipping. Messy but yum!! (We just spoon out what we want and as much sauce as we want, some more than others!)

Finger bowls or hot hand towels will have your guest neat once more.
