Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails left on)
• 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Hot sauce (preferably Louisiana-style)
• 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock
• 2 Green onions (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 loaf French bread or crusty baguette (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, Creole seasoning, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute to combine and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Add the chicken stock and fresh lemon juice to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped green onions and parsley over the shrimp. Stir gently to combine.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Creole BBQ shrimp immediately with crusty French bread or baguette to soak up the flavorful sauce.
