New Orleans Style Barbecue Shrimp

[@sunnywhether]

I was so spoiled when you were just a wee pop up on the Northshore. King Status, Chef. So proud. Miss that those days

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

So refreshing to see someone that "really knows" how to make New Orleans style BBQ shrimp ( no bbq sauce used) 🤣Man, when you used all that butter, and said heavy on the black pepper, that was all it took for me to know you were making the real deal!!! That is my absolute favorite way to eat shrimp. It just don't get any better and big props for doing that over coals and not breaking the butter! Excellent video brother!!! I'm sharing this one for sure!

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thank you Rus. It's definitely one of my favorite nola dishes. I appreciate the support.

[@Sharpester]

Just made this dish. Turned out delicious! I also made fried shrimp, and served this sauce on the side to dip them in.

[@charisseharper1646]

I made this last night for the family and it was delicious!!!!! Reminded me of the BBQ shrimp from Dookey Chase in New Orleans!!!! 10 out of 10!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[@Shoshana152]

I was looking for a shrimp recipe and came accidentally to your video. To get some NOLA taste and feeling at home and is always the best. And for sure next time when we are there we will visiting your restaurant. Greetings from Germany

[@mrspadgett1]

Great video! My husband has been perfecting his BBQ shrimp, and this process was ON POINT! Love your style and kind nature, too.

[@jeffreycooley2032]

Looks great! Thank you for the history lesson on Barbeque shrimp's origin.

[@patrickmiller8130]

Made this last night and reminded me of home - N.O. Always so good. Please do some videos on redfish on the half shell, grilled redfish and bacon wrapped shrimp with jalepeno and would really like to get a recipe for seafood sauce that goes on top of fish etc. Really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Thanks

[@sammysammy7666]

Thank you buddy. Making some right now. Did 3 weeks in New Mexico. I miss my New Orleans food,lol

[@jarronellis5801]

That looks awesome

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for posting this James! One of my wife's favorite dishes in NOLA. I'll be making this for sure!

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thanks. I love it too, but don't make it enough. Even though I have access to fresh gulf shrimp any time that I want. Try it over some pasta as well.

[@denicelopez9467]

The recipe recap at the end is very helpful! Thank you for this video.

[@stephenjernigan1057]

We don't have any prawn shops in Virginia. Just pawn shops. I think I need to move to Louisiana. I tried the recipe and it was outstanding.

[@sharkbittenjf]

That would be amazing paired with brushetta. Basically a brushetta shrimp slider.

[@patrickretemeier2445]

A long time ago I saw a documentary about food from New Orleans on german television. Since then I have been looking for a recipe for the shrimp to cook at home. Now I've finally found one.

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thank you, I really appreciate the support. Let me know how they came out for you.

[@diannecrais2089]

Great revision of barbecue shrimp!

[@rayflores3511]

Just made this. Excellent taste. My first try with another recipe was a bust but this was near perfect. Thank you!

[@TheSandersKitchen]

Great presentation! Love your recipe.

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

[@oal5610]

Can't wait to try thanks for the recipe

[@er8719]

Thank you for the great video well done 👍 my friend from Mississippi use to make this for all of us years ago and it was a huge hit I remembered most of the ingredients but had lost his moms recipe so wasn’t sure on the specific amounts hard to find shrimp around here with the heads on so hopefully the ones without will be fine I’m looking forward to making it this weekend

[@CentralCityBBQ]

It’s been one of my favorites for years. The heads add a little flavor, but you’ll be fine without them. Let me know how they come out.

[@Anisa-zs9cl]

Cooked it twice now on the stove and it is deeeliiiciious! I'd say the trickiest part for stove-top is keeping the sauce from separating. I've had the butter and Worcestershire sauce separate on me twice now! But once I got by that it's sooo worth it!

[@CentralCityBBQ]

I'm glad you enjoyed them. The key is to add the butter a slowly, and a little at a time. You also have to keep whisking it to help it from seperating.

[@JanieP53]

Just keep stirring and lower your heat.

[@USA__2023]

Looks good. I don't remember where I got it from but I like a sprig or 2 of rosemary in my BBQ shrimp. Have you hears of this?

[@user-Vegas1]

Looks great. Going to try it this weekend. It’s been a few years, but the last time I had barbecued shrimp in New Orleans was at Mr. B’s bistro…

[@Saved_by_Grace96]

That looks sooo good! Thanks for sharing. Gonna have to try that.

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thank you, let me know how they come out.

[@stevetrimborn3739]

Masterpiece! Thank you for sharing!

[@pingpong6169]

Your recipe is awesome,

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thank you. Have you tried it?

[@beauteoussounds1156]

This looks AMAZING! Just one correction in the ingredients listed in the description: should be 2 teaspoons of black pepper, not 2 tablespoons.

[@ericramirez9240]

Nice video!!! Nice pit set up man. That looks freaking cool.

[@raylewis1136]

Man that looks great. I will make that version soon. Next time I make the short drive I try to stop by and eat. Keep them coming.

[@johnmcelreath9406]

James good job love this dish

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thank you.

[@jonewman8217]

I like to devein mine .. you can do that and still leave the head an tails on. They are delicious.

[@drewjenn9819]

Trying this tonight. Looks insane!😋

[@awwwyeaboyeeee]

Thanks for posting! Everyone does BBQ Shrimp slightly different and the variation is for me what makes it interesting. Cheers!

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thank you. I've seen a ton of different ways that people are doing them.

[@JanieP53]

OMG!!! I made this tonight and it was freakin incredible! I was so excited to eat it, I forgot to add the green onions! Oh well… Things I will do different next time, peel the shrimp, after adding the shrimp, only cook them on one side for a minute, turn them turn everything off, put in oven while plating. Serve! This way you will get all that marvelous sauce on the shrimp and not your fingers! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It was fabulous! ❤🦐❤

[@gulfportflamefighter4545]

If you peel them cook your shells in the sauce there is a lot of flavor in the shells

[@brianveestrom6784]

Holy cow that looks great!

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thank you

[@acid357]

Made this, it was awesome.

[@helenaaguiar392]

Lovely recipe 😋

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Damn. That beer really kicked up the sauce. Could you have grilled the shrimp as you were making the sauce, then added it to the dish. Damn buddy, you definitely got some cooking chops. Awesome looking sauce. Restaurant quality for sure- Definitely will be making this as I love shrimp type recipes like this. Good stuff.

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thanks man. I've been following your channel for a while now, and love the videos. Great stuff. As far as grilling the shrimp ahead of time, I'm not sure it would add much to the dish because it's such a quick cook. I'd prefer as much cook time in the sauce as possible.

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Correction.....I've been following under my personal account. Just subbed under CCBBQ.

[@77.88.]

Great and easy! Thank You

[@CentralCityBBQ]

You're welcome!

[@mzdontcallmefish8189]

I can't believe you didn't suck the juice out of the shrimp head!! This looks GREAT, can't wait to try it.

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thank you. Let me know how yours come out.

[@onlyme9254]

I always do that it's the best bit!

[@lynsey354]

It must be a spicy and/or spicy hot sauce there. I can’t tolerate really spicy/hot things. Is there any other way to make this with lots of flavor? Liking how well you teach this. And can I get the recipe if it isn’t so spicy/hot or if you have a recipe for me that has great flavor but not spicy/hot? Thanks tons, Retired Arts teacher~ L.

[@Iambriangregory]

Have you tried Ginger maybe honey maybe barbecue sauce

[@ShinyTurd1]

Are you using Grill Grates on your grill? If so I was wondering how using a pan on them performed. Recipe looks delicious. Is this an appetizer or main course. I have seen other recipes were it is served over rice.

[@smokefire_southern_eats]

Glad I found your channel! I want to jump in my phone and get a bite of those shrimp! 🏆

[@JohannesSerendipity]

Nicely done !!!

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Thank you.

[@StetchMagee]

Just made this, came out great, but the sauce was fine but broke sometime after i flipped the shrimp in the last minute or so. Any tricks/advice to help prevent that? Lower the temp maybe? I was moving it around as much as I could, but bam, last second separated

[@nicholasblackweedcountry]

Lower heat, add butter slowly

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Damn that looks great! I gotta try that one.

[@IamTyAdalis]

Ok sooooo I a question I live in New Orleans why is it called bbq shrimp but I don’t see any bbq being added

[@CentralCityBBQ]

Great question. The answer that I got from Pascal's Manale, which invented the recipe, is that it's just what they decided to name it for no particular reason. During that time, bbq sauces weren't as popular as they are now, so the interpretation of what a possible "New Orleans" type bbq sauce could be was just an open idea. Thank you for the great question, and I learned a little something myself on it. I appreciate the support.

[@IamTyAdalis]

Oh ok so I wonder if I were to really add some bbq sauce like the honey chipotle how would it come out

[@CentralCityBBQ]

@@IamTyAdalis that might not be a bad idea. That's the awesome thing about recipes, you can make them however you like. I'm all for experimenting. I would suggest maybe just adding a little bit of the sauce the first time. Add more the 2nd time if you think it would be better.

[@IamTyAdalis]

Yes definitely a little only to taste

A LOT of butter for 8 shrimp😨. Whew chile

[@CentralCityBBQ]

That's a pretty standard amount of butter for barbecue shrimp. It makes plenty sauce to cook more shrimp in it if you want to. Thank you for watching, and providing feedback. Please feel free to ask any questions, anytime you want.

Couldn't you actually grill the shrimp and then toss them in a bowl with the sauce, like wings?

[@Iambriangregory]

That Sounds so lazy and stupid way to cook whenever I see people do that it just blows my mind they think they have any taste at all part of the flavor development seems to be when sauces and the thing you're cooking are cooked together you don't know that by now how old are you 16 ?please get up sense of what good cooking is it's don't be so lazy it takes a little bit more effort to make a good meal just put off the effort tossing oh brother sounds so backwards
