Ingredients

Shrimp On The Barbie

  • 1 lb raw jumbo shrimp peeled, deveined, and tail on. About 16-20 shrimp per pound
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning I found it at the seafood counter at the grocery store
  • ¾ tablespoon light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves minced

Remoulade Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonaise
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tablespoon relish
  • 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Shrimp On The Barbie

  • Thread your shrimp close together on a skewer. If using wooded, soak them in water for 10 minutes before threading the shrimp. If you use metal, like I do, skip straight to threading the shrimp.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat with the minced garlic. Add all other ingredients except shrimp.
  • Brush one side of the shrimp with garlic butter mixture.
  • Grill over medium heat for 3 minutes butter face down. Brush uncooked side with garlic butter. Turn and cook for an additional 3 minutes until opaque and pinked.

Remoulade Sauce

  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined.  Serve alongside shrimp.

Notes

  • Don't overcook the shrimp! They cook quickly so don't leave them unattended.
  • Use skewers for the shrimp. This keeps them from falling through the grate and makes them easier to turn more easily in order to avoid overcooking.
  • Remember fresh shrimp is best! Choose jumbo sized shrimp with the tails on!
  • Do not use cooked shrimp to make shrimp on the barbie! It simply won't work.
