CREAMY BARBECUE SHRIMP

Apr.posted by Paula 23 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Creamy Barbecue Shrimp recipe is life-changing! These shrimp are creamy, savory, and a little spicy. Perfect for any occasion!

This Big Easy favorite is shrimp smothered in a creamy, buttery, and rich sauce.

Creamy BBQ Shrimp recipe appetizer, party or entree New Orleans favorite!

Shrimp is one of my very favorite foods.

  1. First, shrimp cooks fast.
  2. You can alter the recipe easily for a few or a crowd.
  3. This recipe is great as an appetizer or entrée.
  4. Finally, Barbecue Shrimp can be elegant or down-home simple.

The first time I had BBQ Shrimp I was a little surprised confused! Where’s the barbecue sauce? Where’s the grill?

In New Orleans, barbecued shrimp means sautéed shrimp in a Worcestershire-spiked butter sauce. Basically, it’s butter, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. That’s it. It’s that simple.

But, boy oh boy, is it good!

But, you know me, I couldn’t leave well enough alone.  I decided to add heavy cream to the sauce for Creamy Barbecue Shrimp.

Whew, Creamy Barbecue Shrimp is ‘slap yo momma good!’ (Have you ever heard that Southern saying? Do not go slap your Mother.
It just means it very, VERY good!)

Creamy Barbecue Shrimp

If you want the traditional BBQ Shrimp, don’t add the cream. It’s totally delish. If you want a little extra decadence make the creamy sauce.

I served this as an appetizer. I think it would be great over pasta as an entrée.

Traditionally, Creamy Barbecue Shrimp is made with head-on shrimp. I can’t do head-on shrimp, although it probably makes it more flavorful. Go for it if the heads don’t bother you!

          Awesome! Looking forward to it. I must be on a shrimp thing this week because I just thought of another shrimp recipe I want to try. Must be the weather!

          You know I’m new at WordPress and I wasn’t sure my reply was sent to you in email. I’m assuming it was since you answered! Good to know! Take care ~ Paula
