My dear amazing husband loves shrimp! I thought this Crock Pot New Orleans Spicy Barbecue Shrimp Recipe was perfect for him. It combines a couple of his favorite things...shrimp, New Orleans spices, and well a meal he did not have to cook himself.
Crock Pot New Orleans Spicy Barbecue Shrimp Recipe
I am on a roll right now with shrimp recipes my dear Husband is loving! He absolutely loved the Grilled Shrimp with Avocado Butter and Mediterranean Shrimp and Pasta I made.
These spicy barbecue shrimp are a great party appetizer. Some nights John will have these for dinner. They are so easy to make and taste amazing.
These barbecue shrimp always remind me of being in New Orleans and being in the South. Filled with flavor and you can add them to so many things. If you don't want to eat them on their own you can add them to grits, pasta, or soup.
These barbecue shrimp are fantastic for parties! You can get them set up and ready before your guests arrive. They are a delicious appetizer.

I love your recipes..I'm also a Chef. 30 minutes is way too long for the shrimp unless you like rubber. We also heat our water/brine etc. then dip our shrimp into it once it's turned off the boil. This way the shrimp is cooked perfectly. If it needs marinating before the boil..I'd suggest marinate first then, dip in hot brine to finish the cook. Just a suggestion. Can't wait to see how your Limoncello turns out.

Why unpeeled? Will it work with peeled shrimp with tails on? I HATE peeling shrimp lol. But I do really want to try this! Both sound great 🙂
Chrystal S
Both meaning this and the mediterranean shrimp and pasta lol. Oops forgot to add what "both" ment.

Tammilee
Thank you for the great tip! I had not thought of doing that.

Oh that sounds sooo yummy. Great way to use up the sauce and added bonus of having a side for dinner!
