Deanie's Seafood BBQ Shrimp
New Orleans BBQ shrimp are not BBQ'd at all, but drenched in a butter/oil mix. This version is an approximation of the secret recipe from http://www.deanies.com/
½ lb. margarine/butter
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tbsp minced garlic
3 tbsp Lemon
3 tbsp whole sweet basil
2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp hot sauce / cayenne
½ tsp black pepper
¼ cup chopped parsley
1/3 cup chopped green onion
1 lb. raw head-on Louisiana jumbo shrimp
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt margarine and add all ingredients for the sauce. Once combined, add shrimp and spread out so they are not on top of each other. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip each shrimp and cook other side for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to deep dish and serve with French bread for dipping.
