New Orleans style BBQ Shrimp isn’t really barbecue. It’s shrimp cooked in a spicy, kicked-up butter sauce served with bread (so you can sop up all that sauce). But even though it isn’t “traditional bbq” it’s still a killer dish!
This was originally a recipe from Malcom Reed, only with a little editing from The Grill Guys to perfect it. ;)

Ingredients

• 2lbs raw shrimp peeled & deveined

• 2 Tablespoons Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning

• 1 teaspoon dry crab boil

• 1/2 red onion diced

• 1/2 yellow bell pepper diced

• 1/2 green bell pepper diced

• 4 cloves garlic minced 1 stick butter

• 1 cup Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce

• 1–2 Tablespoons Killer Hogs Hot Sauce

• 1/2 cup W Sauce

• 1 lemon Parsley and Lemon slices for garnish

Directions

1. Prepare pellet grill for indirect cooking at 350 degrees.

2. Melt butter in iron skillet on grill and sauté peppers and onions for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and continue to sauté for 1-2 minutes.

3. Add The BBQ sauce, W Sauce, and lemon juice. Season with King Craw Cajun Seasoning and dry crab boil.

4. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes.

5. Season shrimp with King Craw and place in the sauce mixture. Be sure to coat each shrimp in the sauce. Add a few slices of fresh lemon to the skillet

6. Continue to cook for 5-10 minutes or until shrimp are done – no longer translucent.

7. Remove from the grill and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with a crusty French bread to soak up the sauce.
