Barbecue Shrimp

My friend Melanie made this for dinner one night, and my husband and I have been hooked on this shrimp recipe ever since.  It is a super simple way to prepare shrimp, and the flavor is amazing. Soaking up the sauce with a piece of slightly crisp baguette is so good.  The name of this recipe is Barbecue Shrimp, but it should be New Orleans Style-Creole Shrimp.  This dish is spicy, savory, and finger lickin’ good.  It is a great dish to make for a party, and can easily be doubled or tripled. I have also served this dish with Japanese white rice.
