RECIPE TIPS:
If you have trouble finding jumbo shrimp, feel free to use large shrimp. Just be sure to use a full pound, or you will need to make adjustments to all of the other ingredients.
Leaving the tails on your shrimp will also add more flavor, and it just makes everything look prettier.
Most Creole seasonings that are available at the grocery store contain a LOT of salt. This is why you need to use unsalted butter when making this dish.
Although you can use frozen shrimp to make this New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp, fresh shrimp, if you can find them, will bring even more flavor to the party.
I’m sure that somewhere along the way, you will have to add water. How much ?
