Print Recipe

A quick and easy New Orleans-style BBQ shrimp dish featuring large shrimp cooked in a rich, buttery Worcestershire sauce with Creole seasoning. Perfect for entertaining and packed with bold, tangy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (16-20 count) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • French bread or baguette, sliced (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning to coat evenly. Set aside for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, and hot sauce if using. Stir well to combine, then reduce heat to low to keep warm.
  4. Raise heat to medium-high. Add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once, until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking.
  5. Toss the shrimp gently in the sauce to coat well. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt or more lemon juice if needed.
  6. Serve immediately with plenty of sliced French bread to soak up the sauce.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture. Use unsalted butter for better salt control. Sear shrimp in batches to prevent steaming. Worcestershire sauce is essential for authentic flavor. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil. Fresh garlic is key for best flavor. Thaw frozen shrimp completely and pat dry before cooking.
