NEW ORLEANS BARBECUE SHRIMP
Barbecue shrimp is an old New Orleans recipe that has nothing to do with barbecue or with grilling. Its name comes from the spicy, smoky flavor the shrimp derive from being cooked with Worcestershire sauce and lots of black pepper. It is a fine and almost absurdly fast dish - once the shrimp are peeled, you can have it on the table in 10 minutes - with a rich, savory sauce that completely belies the little effort it takes. But as I discovered once I started playing around with it, the key ingredient is neither Worcestershire sauce nor pepper, but rather butter. If you start with about a tablespoon for each serving of shrimp, you can add almost any flavor you like and create a sauce with the same creaminess and rich flavor. But start with Worcestershire sauce and pepper!

Steps:
- Put butter in skillet, and turn heat to high; when it melts, add garlic, shrimp and Worcestershire or soy sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick and shrimp uniformly pink, about 5 minutes. If sauce threatens to dry out, add a tablespoon or two of water.
- When shrimp are done, add salt and pepper, then lemon juice. Serve over rice or with bread.

NEW ORLEANS BBQ CAJUN SHRIMP
I found this recipe online and as I like all things "Cajun" I was not disappointed. This calls for beer, as I have had it in New Orleans. I like it with beer better than the sherry/white wine recipes.

BBQ SHRIMP
This New Orleans classic happens to be one of my favorite ways to eat shrimp. Sweet Carolina shrimp bathe in a spicy butter sauce that's perfect for soppin' up with slices of grilled bread. You've got to try it.

Steps:
- Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a very large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and reserved shrimp heads and shells. Cook until the onion and garlic are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the sherry and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Add the rosemary, bay leaf, stock, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and remaining tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce reduces by half, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour the sauce through a wire mesh strainer over a liquid measuring cup. Reserve the strained liquid and discard the solids.
- Melt the butter in the skillet. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the reserved sauce and cook until the shrimp are done, 2 to 3 more minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the grilled bread.

- Peel the shrimp and remove the heads, if you have them, and set them aside. Devein the shrimp with a paring knife and salt the shrimp lightly. Set them aside.
- In a saute pan or sauce pot, heat the bacon fat over medium high heat. When it's hot, add the shallots, garlic and shrimp shells and heads. Saute, stirring often, until the shrimp shells turn pink and the shallot is translucent.
- Add the pepper, lemon, Worcestershire, rosemary, thyme, Creole seasoning, wine and stock. Bring this to a boil, then drop the heat to a simmer and reduce the mixture for about 15 minutes. Strain it, moving the liquid to a wide saute pan that will fit all the shrimp.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and let it roll for 2 to 3 minutes. You ultimately want this to be a glaze, but you still need to cook the shrimp without overcooking them, so you'll need to use your judgment; the shrimp typically need about 3 to 5 minutes in the pan, maximum. So when the sauce just barely leaves a trail when you run a spatula through the middle of the pan, add all the shrimp and toss to combine.
