Spicy New Orleans Style Barbecue Shrimp with VIDEO

This is what I ask my family to make for me every single Mother’s Day, Spicy New Orleans Style Barbecue Shrimp . I just hand my husband and the kids this recipe, kick back and read all my Mother’s day cards.

Here are 10 DELICIOUS, fast and EASY new recipes for you to try

You can use head on shrimp if you can find them but they are not available in my local grocery store so I use easy peel shrimp. The shell is split down the back  but left on and the “vein” is removed.  The shell adds great flavor to the sauce.  As you peel the shrimp the sauce runs down your fingers, it’s heaven to lick off, be sure to have lots of napkins…and maybe a warm, damp hand towel like in a fancy restaurant.

A crusty baguette is a must for dipping to soak up that delicious savory sauce
