New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp - Click For Larger Picture

Tonight was another pretty simple and quick dish. I haven’t made any New Orleans food in a while so I thought I’d try New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp, another first for me. I got my rice going in my rice cooker. Then I chopped up 1 celery stalk, a bundle of green onions, and 3 garlic cloves while I had a pot heating to med-high. After melting 2 tablespoons of butter I tossed in the celery, green onions, and garlic and cooked them down for about 3-4 minutes. Next I tossed in two teaspoons of Tony Chachere’s Cajun Seasoning and mixed that around for a minute. Then I added a 1/2 cup of Worcestershire Sauce, 1 lemon cut into 1/4 inch thick rounds, and 1 1/2 lbs of deveined unpeeled shrimp and cooked that for a few minutes, until the shrimp turned pink.

As you can see I just served it over rice with a bit of the sauce poured over it. Then I hit it with a little Tobasco sauce. It came out really good and my house now smells awesome. Time to watch some Lost.
