Title: Killer Shrimp
Post by: mciai2000 on March 22, 2011, 09:55:00 pm

Time to get ready for spring camping!!  This is a great appertizer, especially in the cool spring air.

1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 Tbs olive oil
1 Tbs chili sauce
2 Tbs Worcestershire
2 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 lemon, sliced with peel
4 to 8 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp parsley
1 small anaheim pepper(optional)
1 Tbs crushed red pepper flake
1 tsp dried oregano
1 Tbs Tabasco
1 lb large shrimp

In large saucepan over med heat, simmer butter, oil,chili sauce,Worcestershire,lemon juice,lemon,garlic,parsley,anaheim, red pepper,oregano,and Tabasco until well blended. Remove from heat and let cool.

Place sauce in ziplock bag: add shrimp, refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.

Place sauce and shrimp into foil pan and heat on grill until shrimp are opague in center.  Place sauce in bowls and serve with crusty french bread for dipping.

You can heat the shrimp on top of the stove or in oven, but I like to heat them on grill.  I rarely use the anaheim pepper as I never know how much heat people like. You don't really need it.  I remove the shells on the shrimp before I put them in the ziplock bag.

I can't eat shellfish, but a friend of the family tried this, and it got great reviews!  Thanks for sharing!  2o2

I'm on my way to pick up some shrimp right now.  Sounds terrific!!!
We're having a party Friday night so my first batch will be tried out on our guests.

Your shrimp recipe was the big WINNER tonight.  Fortunately, I had picked up a couple pounds of shrimp.  We let them marinate overnight and put them on the grill for our cookout this evening.  I didn't put in the anaheim pepper though.  Everyone wanted a copy of your recipe to take home. 
Thanks they were a big hit and I'm sure we'll be eating them several times through out the summer.

Glad you liked them.  Did you reserve some sauce for dipping with bread? That is awesome.

I will try to post some more recipes I make.  I love to cook.  My wife loves that too in the fact she does not have to cook often ;)

David ... Gosh, no I didn't save any.  You can bet I will with my next batch.
I'm always game for simple fast appetizers.  We occasionally do an "appetizer night" and the only thing everyone brings is an appetizer.  We also do what we call a "grease pit night" when it's warm enough to be on the patio.  We have several deep fryers going and everything must be deep fried.  Any new recipes would be greatly appreciated.   tymote
