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

Steps

    2. Add shrimp and sprinkle with seasoning; cook and stir 3–4 minutes and just until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from pan.
    3. Add remaining ingredients to pan; cook 2–3 minutes or until liquid is reduced by about one-half. Serve sauce over shrimp.

Jambalaya Rice

  • 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.

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.
