In keeping with the New Orleans flavor of many of the Ruth's Chris dishes, this barbecued shrimp is actually Cajun-style broiled shrimp with a little kick to it.

Ingredients

• 5 to 6 large uncooked shrimp
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Louisiana hot sauce (Frank's Red Hot or Crystal are good)
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground or cracked black pepper
