re: Best BBQ shrimp recipe?

Here is one if you want one that has a more spicy pepper kick

Ingredients

2 pounds jumbo shrimp (16/20 count), peeled and deveined, tails removed
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
4 green onions, greens thinly sliced
Preparation
Combine the shrimp with the chili powder, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper in a medium bowl. Toss until the shrimp is thoroughly seasoned. Set aside.

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, honey, Worcestershire and 2 tablespoons water. Stir and sauté to combine, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and stir to coat in the pan sauce. Sauté until the shrimp are opaque and just starting to curl, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice and garnish with the green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

That is what I thought I would like about emerils recipe. You peel ahead of time and reserve heads and shells to make the sauce. I have tried it three or four times and it is very close to being good. I think it is the cream that dilutes the sauce down too much. Oh well. I make the mrs b recipe and just get dirty while I eat it. It is delicious.
