One of my favorite dishes is BBQ Shrimp from a restaurant in New Orleans. Don’t let the name fool you: the shrimp aren’t grilled with a sweet barbecue sauce; it is stewed in butter and Worcestershire sauce.
This grilled version is reminiscent of those classic New Orleans shrimp flavors, but it comes together much faster. You may want to have French bread on hand to soak up the extra sauce!
