New Orleans BBQ Shrimp
Enjoy a taste of the south with my New Orleans BBQ Shrimp, which features succulent shrimp sautéed in a sauce that booms with flavor!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 lbs. shrimp peeled and deveined (tails left on)
- 6 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 3 large garlic cloves minced
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. ground red pepper
- 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tbsp. water
- 1 tsp. hot sauce
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- French bread and lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
- Add shrimp and cook until pink and firm, about 2-2.5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Stir in chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, red pepper, Worcestershire, water, and hot sauce.
- Reduce the heat to low and return the shrimp to the skillet. Stir in green onions and lemon juice. Cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp are hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
Notes
- Serve with toasted French bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
- To avoid overcooking, remove the shrimp from the skillet as soon as they turn pink and firm, as they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
