shrimp new orleans

mom's recipe...


SHRIMP NEW ORLEANS

2lbs shrimp (in the shells... mom says it's more fun that way)
1 stick butter
1/2 small bottle Tabasco sauce
lots of garlic (like 8-10 cloves or so, chopped or pressed)
OOPS! i forgot the Worcestershire sauce! Wet it all with some Worcestershire sauce!!
french bread for dipping

  1. spread out the shrimp on a broiler-safe pan
  2. cut butter on top of shrimp
  3. splash Tobasco all over the shrimp
  4. press garlic all over the shrimp
  5. broil until tops of shrimp are done (a few minutes)
  6. flip shrimp over with a spatula
  7. broil until done (no more grey -- all pink, but not too long!)
Sit around the table with close friends, stick the pan in the middle, peel & eat while dipping bread into the sauce. Have cardiac doc on call.
