Barbequed Shrimp (no bbq required)

the sam livecast barbequed shrimp no bbq required

Serves 2-3 as a meal/maybe 5 as an appetizer

I used to make this a different way, until my friend Mark (you’ll remember him from the Potatoes Anna) helped to inspire this more flavorful version. I have always been a proponent of keeping a bag of frozen shell-on and de-veined shrimp in the freezer, and this recipe proves my point beautifully. At the absolute last minute you can have an awesome, delicious and fun meal. But it’s a shame to eat these alone – turn them into a party.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. shrimp (21-25/lb) or larger
  • 1.5 sticks butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped, fresh garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp each: crushed red pepper, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 bottle beer

Steps

  1. Melt 1 stick of butter with garlic over medium heat.
  2. Add shrimp and spices – turn over when shrimp are pink.
  3. When shrimp are cooked, add remainder of butter, beer, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice – heat through.
  4. Serve with lots of cold bottled beer, warm crusty bread and newspaper as placemats.
  5. Lots of napkins too.

    Shrimp & Pork Gyoza

    More dumplings with this Asian classic that may have seemed nearly impossible to make at home prior to watching this show. In true Sam fashion, rather than make just shrimp or just pork, he had to combine them together into one epic Asian dumpling. Find the recipe here.

    Not-Fried Honey Walnut Shrimp

    Normally these crispy shrimp are cooked in hot oil, but in the spirit of Sam’s ‘never-fry-anything-because-its-too-damn-smelly’ mantra, we decided we’d rather throw them into a pan for just a little color. Simple and of course, delicious. Find the recipe here.

    You can buy expensive crabmeat at your favorite seafood joint, but as long as you find yourself a really good quality canned version you don’t need to.
