Beryl’s BBQ Shrimp

Beryl’s  BBQ Shrimp “Buck Naked” is not what you think…

This dish is not shrimp on the grill slathered in BBQ sauce.

We first experienced BBQ Shrimp about five years ago in a really nice restaurant near my office called Le Creole. The restaurant is no longer there but I definitely recall my favorite dishes.

While at a business lunch, a colleague ordered the BBQ Shrimp.

The meal came in a pasta bowl with shell-on jumbo shrimp and even still had the heads on. The shrimp were soaking in a savory sauce.

The odd thing was that you had to peel the shrimp that were soaking in sauce.

Tasted great, but very messy to eat.

A little research says that Mr. B’s Bistro in New Orleans is where the dish originates. Mr. B’s Bistro is part of the Brennan family of restaurants.

So we decided to make a BBQ shrimp with no shell – Beryl’s “Buck Naked” BBQ Shrimp

Beryl’s BBQ Shrimp Ingredients:

1.5 to 2 pounds of extra-large or jumbo headless shrimp (peeled and de-veined – “buck naked”)

2 sticks butter (cut into pats of butter)
1 cup chopped sweet onion
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon creole seasoning
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Chopped green onions for garnish

Beryl’s BBQ Shrimp Sauce:

In a large deep skillet or saucepan, melt one stick of the butter.

Sauté the chopped onions 2-3 minutes.

Then add the remaining ingredients.

Bring to a low boil, then turn down the heat to medium low.

Allow to simmer for 10 minutes for the flavors to meld together.

Add the shrimp and cook for 4-6 minutes depending on size of shrimp.

Begin to add remaining stick of butter a little at a time stirring completely until melted before adding more butter.

Remove from heat and serve in bowls with sauce spooned over the shrimp.

Have hot French bread or rolls available for dipping.

We call it Beryl’s Buck Naked BBQ Shrimp (BBQ shrimp with no shell.)
