From Denny: Looking for a super simple hot appetizer for your next party or holiday gathering? Louisiana BBQ Shrimp is the perfect fit. A novice cook can pull off this one to rave reviews!
Here in Louisiana - when you want to double or triple the recipe, we place it all in a roasting pan and stick it in the oven under broil with the oven door open slightly. You really have to watch it so nothing burns but it is a time saver.
However, you could also make this recipe in several batches on top of the stove as the recipe instructs. Either way this recipe is always a big crowd pleaser!
Fair warning: once your guests start eating they won't stop at just an appetizer portion so you may want to plan for doubling this recipe for 12 appetizer servings. It's been my experience that when you bring out shrimp in Louisiana most people make a meal of it!
