Chef Paul Prudhomme's New Orleans BBQ Shrimp | The Real Louisiana Classic

Today I’m making the legendary New Orleans BBQ Shrimp using the classic recipe from Chef Paul Prudhomme’s cookbook Louisiana Kitchen. Despite the name, this dish isn’t grilled or smoked. Instead, shrimp are cooked in a rich buttery sauce packed with garlic, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and Louisiana spices. The result is one of the most iconic dishes to ever come out of New Orleans. Chef Prudhomme helped bring Cajun and Creole cooking to the national stage, and this BBQ shrimp recipe is one of the best examples of bold Louisiana flavor. This dish is messy, buttery, and absolutely incredible—so make sure you have plenty of good bread to soak up that sauce.
