Ingredients

  • Sourdough Bread for serving

Barbecue Butter

  • 1 pound Butter
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon whole dried Rosemary Leaves measured, then finely chopped
  • 2 ounces 1/4 cup Garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco Sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Water

Shrimp

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1 pound 16 - 20 count, cleaned, peeled and deveined Shrimp
  • 1/4 cup chopped Green Onions
  • 1/2 cup Dry White Wine

Instructions

For the Barbecue Butter (See Note Below)

  • Soften butter at room temperature to 70 - 80°F.
  • Place butter, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, rosemary, garlic, Worcestershire, Tabasco and water into mixing bowl.
  • Whip on high speed 3 minutes or until thoroughly blended.
  • Refrigerate to 40°F.

For the Shrimp

  • Pour olive oil in a hot sauté pan.
  • Add shrimp to the sauté pan and cook on one side for 1 - 2 minutes. (Don’t crowd; if necessary, use 2 pans. A 12-inch pan will accommodate 1 pound of shrimp.)
  • Reduce heat to medium, turn shrimp, and add the chopped green onion.
  • Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add white wine and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup.
  • Stir in 1 cup cold Barbecue Butter.
  • Reduce heat to low.
  • Cook and stir frequently until shrimp are just done (white throughout, moist and tender), approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Take care not to overcook the shrimp.
  • Serve immediately in a bowl preheated to 160°F.
NOTE - This recipe uses about 1 cup of the Barbecue Butter. Reserve extra for another use. It shouldn't be hard to find a use or two. ;)
