Should the Shrimp REALLY be boiling??? Part 2

[cctxsailor]

That other topic was too serious, but all that shrimp talk got me hungry. What are some of your favorite recipes for cooking our little friends? I'll start off with mine.

BBQ Shrimp

8 jumbo shrimp shelled
6 - 8 oz. cold unsalted butter - cut into cubes
fresh ground black pepper to taste
Worcestershire Sauce to taste
Juice of 1 lemon to taste


1. In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, place all ingredients except butter. Cook until shrimp turn pink (3/4 cooked).

2. Turn heat down to medium and add butter, an ounce at a time, stirring constantly. When all butter is melted, remove from heat.

3. Place shrimp in a bowl and pour sauce over shrimp. Serve with slices of French bread for dipping.

I know this is not a very specific recipe, but I like to leave a lot of leeway for personal taste. Add more pepper to make it spicy or more lemon to add zing. Trust me this is really good, and you will need the bread for dipping.

BARBEQUED SHRIMP


ingredients
· 4 pounds raw shrimp, heads and shells on, well rinsed and drained

· 2 sticks unsalted butter

· 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

· 10 cloves garlic, minced

· 3 bay leaves

· 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

· 1 tablespoon Essence

· 1/2 teaspoon cayenne

· 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary

· 2 teaspoons fresh oregano

· 1 teaspoon crushed whole peppercorns

· 1 teaspoon salt

· 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

· 2 lemons, cut in half and their juice

· 1 large loaf crusty French bread


preparation instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and let drain.

Spread in one layer in a large roasting pan or baking dish.

Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the olive oil, garlic, bay leaves, Worcestershire, Essence, cayenne, rosemary, oregano, peppercorns, salt, black pepper and lemons and stir to mix well. Remove from the heat and pour over the shrimp.

Bake in the oven until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the shrimp from drying out.

Remove from the oven and pour into a large serving bowl, or individual bowls to be peeled and eaten at tableside, with hot French bread for dunking in the sauce.

Yield: 4 servings

It would have been nice if you had thought of a more original topic title ... Certainly you wouldn't want to confuse the phlock, would you?

Thanks!

Ok, I am now taking this serious. For the next few weeks, I will be conducting extensive research on shrimp. I will be doing daily interviews with them and if any of them indicate that they have been mistreated in any way, I will intesify my research and try to find if there is a pattern there. While I am at it, I will do some interviews with some Conch and maybe a few lobsters as well.

I will report back with the results of my studies (how many lbs. I gained ).

All in the name of research, right??

[Elrod]

I'm all in favor of intense research!

Let me know if you need some help. It will be a tough job but hey someone has to do it

Makes room for the next generation. Overcrowding can't be good. Someone's gotta thin the population.
