New Orleans BBQ Shrimp

These New Orleans BBQ shrimp are the perfect seafood recipe. I love these Louisiana BBQ Shrimp. Allen and I travel often to New Orleans and eat at Pascal's Manales aka the birthplace of BBQ shrimp. There's literally nothing to making them at home. You'll melt two sticks of butter with some lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and spicy seasons. Add in the shrimp and bake for around 10 minutes. If you love spicy Cajun seafood, then you'll love this shrimp recipe.
