BBQ Shrimp Ingredients
3 pounds of 12-16 count head-on fresh Gulf shrimp
3 sticks of butter
2 Tablespoons of black pepper
2 Tablespoons of Creole Seasoning
4 ounces of Worcestershire sauce
2 lemons, juiced
9 large garlic cloves, minced
2 loaves of crusty French bread
BBQ Shrimp Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Put the butter in a high sided baking dish large enough to hold all the shrimp in 1 or 2 layers. Melt butter and then add all the other ingredients except the shrimp. Mix well. Add the shrimp and place in oven. Check after 4-6 minutes and turn shrimp over. Cook for another 4 minutes or until shrimp are done. Plate shrimp in shallow bowls, drizzle remaining sauce over shrimp, and serve with plenty of crusty French bread.
Serves 3-4
