Peel Less BBQ Shrimp
This month we wanted to keep with traditions and do a BBQ Shrimp recipe that we would always prepare with the onslaught of fresh Louisiana Shrimp this time of year. Our famous Peel’ less BBQ Shrimp is unique compared to the traditional BBQ Shrimp that have the heads and shells. Glockners Place wanted to create a BBQ Shrimp dish that our customers would be able to eat with ease and still keep the wonderful flavor and dipping sauce of the traditional BBQ Shrimp, hence the Peel’ Less BBQ Shrimp.
3 pounds of Fresh Louisiana Shrimp (Large 16/20 or 21/25 count)
2 Large Onions (chopped fine)
1 cup of fine chopped Garlic
1 pound of Butter
1 table spoon lemon juice
¼ cup of Worcestershire sauce
1 table spoon of Tony Chachere’s
2 table spoons of black pepper
1 table spoon of paprika
1 tea spoon of cayenne pepper
2 cups of Beer (Your favorite) (We like Abita)
2 cups of Seafood stock
OK, take your fresh Louisiana shrimp de-head and peel them, save the heads and shells. You want to butterfly and devein the peeled shrimp. In a stock pot bring put all of the peeled shrimp shells and heads, cover with water and add salt and pepper. Bring stock pot to a boil for about one minute. Strain the seafood stock from the stock pot into a container. This stock can be used for a variety of recipes.
Discard the cooked shrimp shells and heads from the stock pot and melt butter in same pot. On med heat sauté onion and garlic for about two minutes, add the rest of the ingredients and cook for another two minutes. Now taste the sauce and make sure it is just right, you may want to add a little more salt or pepper to your taste. Or heck you may want more beer flavor. Add your fresh peeled and deveined Louisiana Shrimp and cook for about two-three minutes. If you would like to make your sauce a little thicker as we like to do, add a little roux till your liked consistency. Take some fresh local French bread and soak up the sauce with the shrimp. Yummy! Enjoy!

holy jeepers batman it was good but the sauce was way over the top inedible.
you sure its 1/4 cup of worchestershire sauce? because that all you can taste when dipping in the sauce so we had to throw it out.
i tried it a second time with just 1 tablespoon worchestershire sauce instead of the 1/4 cup and it was much better, we had no sauce left over that time
