    Easy “Barbecue” Shrimp

    Ingredients

    • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
    • 1 lb peeled/deveined shrimp
    • 1 ½ teaspoons Louisiana-style barbecue seasoning
    • ½ cup white wine (or chicken broth)
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 ½ teaspoons hot pepper sauce (or to taste)
    • 1 teaspoon pepper

    Ingredients

    • 1 link andouille or smoked Cajun sausage (about 3 oz)
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    • ½ cup trinity mix (fresh diced onions, bell peppers, celery)
    • 2 ½ cups water
    • 1 (8-oz) box reduced-sodium dirty rice mix
    • 3 tablespoons diced pimientos

    Steps

      1. Cut sausage into small pieces (wash hands). Preheat medium saucepan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place butter in pan and then add trinity mix; cook and stir 2–3 minutes or until tender.
      2. Stir in remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover; simmer 20–25 minutes or until rice is tender.
      3. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Complete your meal with crusty bread and apple pie for dessert.
    • “Barbecue Shrimp” aren’t grilled and there is no barbecue sauce. Instead, this classic Louisiana-style recipe is shrimp cooked in a spicy, garlicky butter sauce.
