On day three of our traditional recipe rollout, we're sharing a dish that's classically New Orleans in both its idiosyncratic name and its flavors.
Barbecue shrimp doesn't come near a grill or coals—the meal marries big, heads-on Gulf shrimp with a buttery, peppery sauce that comes together in a flash in an iron skillet. Served with a warm loaf of French bread, this dish is equally at home at a campsite or on a white linen tablecloth.
Give it a try, and don't forget to check out other recipes in our monthlong holiday recipe series.

New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp
4 appetizer portions or 2 entrees
16 jumbo shrimp (12 per pound, about 1 1/2 pounds), with heads and unpeeled
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1-1/14 to 1-1/2 cups (3 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
French bread as accompaniment
In large skillet combine shrimp, lemon juice, black peppers, Creole seasoning, garlic and Worcestershire. Cook over moderately high heat, tossing and moving shrimp until they turn pink, about 1 minute on each side.
Reduce heat to moderate and stir in butter, few cubes at a time, stirring constantly, but gently, and adding more only when butter is melted.
Remove skillet from heat. Place shrimp in a bowl and pour sauce over top.
Serve with crispy French bread for dipping.
