Barbecued Shrimp

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. large uncooked unpeeled shrimp, split down the back. Remove veins, if any.
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 3 tbl. olive oil
  • 2 tbl. chili sauce
  • 1 tbl. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbl. lemon juice
  • 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or 1 tsp. of bottled garlic
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • 3/4 tsp. ground red pepper
  • 3/4 tsp. liquid smoke
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce
  • salt & ground pepper to taste
  • French Bread

Preparation

Step 1

Wash shrimp well; pat dry and spread in shallow pan. Combine remaining ingredients except bread in a saucepan and let simmer for 15 minutes or so. Pour over shrimp and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate 2 - 3 hours. (I let mine set overnight). Stir occasionally.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Bake shrimp, turning frequently, until they just turn pink, about 15 to 20 minutes. Do not overbake. Serve in soup bowls with chunks of French Bread to soak up the sauce.
