Step 1

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp, onion, and garlic and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. The shrimp will begin to plump up a bit.

2. Add the wine, lemon zest and juice, and 4 tablespoons more butter.Reduce the heat and gently sauté the shrimp until the sauce thickens.
If this sauce is too thin, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more butter.

3. Add the tomatoes and parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Add the barbecue sauce and toss well.
To serve, remove the shrimp from the pan with a fork, place on plates, and drizzle the sauce over the shrimp with a spoon.
