Barbecue shrimp recipe



Recipe for barbecue shrimp in our easy seafood recipes collection.

Recipe ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 6 pounds fresh Gulf shrimp with heads on
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 pounds salted butter
  • 1/2 pound margarine
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1, 4 ounces, can black pepper

How to make barbecue shrimp

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Use the garlic cloves to wipe the inside of a baking pan big enough to hold all the shrimp.
  • Squeeze it in there to get as much garlic oil as you can in there.
  • Discard the garlic itself, but leave the little bits that came loose.
  • Place two bay leaves at the bottom of the pan.
  • Wash and pat dry the shrimp, then lay them on their sides, crowded together and slightly overlapping, in the baking pan.
  • Douse the shrimp with the lemon juice.
  • Cut the butter and margarine into cubes and distribute it atop the shrimp.
  • Sprinkle it with the paprika.
  • Liberally sprinkle enough black pepper over the shrimp to cover them with a palpable black layer.
  • Bake the shrimp in a preheated 300 degrees F oven for 15 minutes. Check them for doneness.
  • Return the shrimp to the oven if necessary, but not much longer.
  • Serve the shrimp in soup plates with lots of the sauce and toasted French bread.
