Cajun Barbeque Shrimp

The Cajun Barbeque Shrimp is one of the most popular smoked shrimp dishes. Here's a great recipe to make the shrimp:

Recipe:

Serves: 4 main-course servings or 6 first-course servings.

Ingredients:

2 pounds medium-large shrimp in their shells, about 42 shrimps
2 tablespoons Creole Seasoning
16 turns freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 bay leaves
3 lemons, peeled and sectioned
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Procedure:

* Peel the shrimp, leaving only their tails attached. Reserve the shells; sprinkle the shrimp with 1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning and 8 turns of the black pepper. Use your hands to coat the shrimp with the seasoning. Refrigerate the shrimp while you make the sauce base and biscuits.

* Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large pot over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the reserved shrimp shells, the remaining 1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning, the bay leaves, lemons, water, Worcestershire, wine, salt, and the remaining 8 turns black pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil.

* Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the flame, allowing to cool for about 15 minutes, and straining into a

small saucepan. There should be about 1 1/2 cups. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, and cook until thick, syrupy, and dark brown, for about 15 minutes. This makes about 4 to 5 tablespoons of barbecue sauce base.

* Heat the remaining 1-tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the seasoned shrimp and sauté'

them, occasionally shaking the skillet, for 2 minutes.

* Add the cream and barbecue base. Stir and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a warm platter with tongs

and whisk the butter into the sauce. Remove from heat. Makes about 2 cups.
