YaYa’s BBQ Shrimp
1+1/2 pounds large shrimp
Zest of 1 lemon
1 lemon sliced +2 tablespoons or so lemon juice
1 pound unpeeled large shrimp
1 stick of butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
a splash of white wine
4 cloves garlic, minced
a sprinkle of oregano 1/2 teaspoon should do
1 large bay leaf
3/4 tablespoon Cajun or Creole seasoning/”Slap Ya Mama” is my favorite
1 teaspoon paprika (a bit of a smoky flavor use 1/2 smoked paprika and paprika)
pinches of cayenne
black pepper to taste
Set the shrimp aside and place all of the spices and seasonings in a small pot and simmer for a few minutes. Set the oven temp to 350º. Place the shrimp into a baking dish, toss in the sauce and bake for about 12-15 minutes until shrimp are done…
