- New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp -- variation of a recipe from
- --------------------------- The New Orleans Cookbook by
- Rima & Richard Collin
-
- 1 c (2 sticks) margarine
- 1/2 c vegetable oil
- 1/2 c chicken broth (canned is fine)
- 4 t finely minced garlic
- 5 whole bay leaves, torn into pieces
- 4 t dried rosemary, crushed
- 1 t dried sweet basil
- 1 t greek oregano
- 1 t dried thyme
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/2 t (or more) cayenne pepper
- 4 t paprika
- 1 1/2 t freshly ground black pepper
- 1 T fresh lemon juice
- 2 lb whole fresh shrimp in the shell (with heads if possible)
-
- In a heavy saute pan or saucepan melt the margarine, then add the oil and
- mix well. Add all the other ingredients except the shrimp and broth, and
- cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently,
- then remove the pan from the heat and let it stand, uncovered, at room
- temperature for at least 30 minutes. Add the shrimp to the sauce, mix
- thoroughly, and put the pan back on the burner. Cook over medium heat for
- 6 to 8 minutes, or just until the shrimp turn pink. Add the broth, shaking
- the pan back and forth to mix. Preferably, place the pan into a preheated
- 450 deg F oven and bake for 10 minutes. OR simmer loosely covered on the
- stovetop for about 5 or 10 minutes. Serve equal portions of shrimp with
- about 1/2 c of the sauce ladled over each one. You will need bibs and lots
- of bread to sop up the sauce. Also, fingers are a necessary eating
- utensil. A good side dish is quartered red new potatoes, baked in olive
- oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and several bay leaves. A green salad and
- bread finishes the meal. Makes 5 generous (nearly 1/2 lb) servings.
