List of Ingredients
2 pounds large shrimp, 20 to 25 count per pound
Marinade:
½ cup margarine, melted
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
6 thin slices of a medium white or yellow onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Pickapeppa pepper sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco garlic pepper sauce
¼ teaspoon red pepper
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
Green onions for garnish
French bread
Recipe
Wash, peel and devein shrimp.
Mix together marinade ingredients. Pour marinade over shrimp, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place shrimp and marinade in a greased 9-by-12- or 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Bake the shrimp 10 to 15 minutes, or until shrimp are starting to lose translucency. Stir the shrimp a few times as they cook to make sure they heat evenly.
Turn oven to broil and cook to achieve desired reddish-bronze color. Remove from oven, garnish with green onions and serve immediately with slices of hot French bread for dipping into the sauce.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
Recipe
Barbecued shrimp
This recipe, from the Junior League of Baton Rouge's cookbook "River Road Recipes I," is a little more streamlined than the one above.
1 pound shrimp
3 sticks butter or margarine, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
Hot sauce, to taste
Paprika
Salt and pepper
1 lime or lemon, sliced
Dash of oregano
1 tablespoon chili sauce
1 cup white wine
To prepare shrimp: Take heads off. With a very sharp knife, slice them down the back and remove black line. Leave shell and tail on. Marinate shrimp for 1 hour or more in the sauce made from the remaining ingredients.
Broil shrimp over charcoal fire, turning and basting often. If preferred, bake in a 300-degree oven, basting shrimp often with sauce. Baking time depends on size of shrimp. Do not overcook.
Makes 2 to 4 servings.
Broiled shrimp
Another version of barbecued shrimp from the Junior League of Baton Rouge, this one is from "River Road Recipes II."
2 pounds shrimp
½ cup margarine
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Jamaican Choice Tropical or Pickapeppa pepper sauce
¼ teaspoon red pepper
½ teaspoon salt
Wash, peel and devein shrimp.
Melt margarine in saucepan. Add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce, red pepper and salt. Let simmer 5 or 10 minutes. Pour over raw shrimp in 9-by-12-by-2-inch pan. Place on next-to-lowest rack in oven. Broil 20 minutes, turning shrimp every 5 minutes. Serve shrimp in juice with plenty of hot French bread for "dunking."
Makes 4 servings.
