Barbeque Shrimp

Name: Barbeque Shrimp
Ingredients: 1 pound butter; 5 pounds shrimp in the shell (don't use peeled or easy peel shrimp); 2 large yellow onions, diced; 3 cloves garlic, diced; 3 tablespoons West Indies Barbeque Seasoning; 5 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper; Juice of one lemon; 1 loaf French bread; 1 tablespoon salt

About 20 years ago, my wife and myself were having dinner at the Hilton in New Orleans. Barbeque shrimp were on the menu. My wife ordered it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Being an excellent cook and knowlegable about spices, she attempted to duplicate the recipe when we returned home to Mobile. The following recipe is the result. We feel that it is better than the Hilton version. You will worry about the large amount of spice used, but don't. Remember that you are seasoning the shrimp through the shell. Don't forget to sop the delicious pan sauce with the french bread.

More About This Recipe

The resulting pan sauce is probably the best part of the dish. Divide the sauce evenly with the portions of shrimp. While you peel and eat the shrimp, dip the sauce with the bread. Steamed small red potatoes and corn on the cob make an excellent addition to this meal.
