Second in this day's simple recipes is my BBQ shrimp.
5 lbs head on 16-20 Ct. shrimp
1 stick butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 10 oz. light beer
bread crumbs
Old bay seasoning
salt
Pepper
Worcestershire sauce
Loaf of french bread to sop up juices
warm your french bread in oven
season shrimp with salt, pepper and old bay. I know--old bay is for yanks, but it works here.
Melt butter and cook garlic for a few minutes in a very large pan
Add shrimp and toss over high heat until pink.
Reduce heat, add beer, a few dashes of Worcestershire and some Italian bread crumbs to thicken. simmer, tossing shrimp for a few minutes.
serve with warm french bread and lots of paper towels.

Would this be considered a traditional approach to this dish? I have a buddy that does something similar using his BGE instead of on the stove.

Yes. BBQ shrimp in Louisiana is not done on a BBQ pit or grilled per se.

Looks good. I typically go with the Mr B's recipe but this looks worth a try. I like the bread crumbs.

Y'all should do it just like this. I do.

I'm not a huge Rosemary fan.

Rosemary is too strong for shrimp for my taste. It overshadows the shrimp.

A complete herb butter is necessary here imo...plus i use abita amber.

Where's the heat? Don't get me wrong I would maul that shite as is but a little cayenne never hurt nobody.

Needs beaucoup black pepper and some sliced lemons, to my taste.

I vary on my ingredients for bbq shrimp from time to time depending on my mood. I'm always in the mo buttah, black pepper, lemons, worcestershire camp. Usually like some garlic as well. Sometimes, I use beer, sometimes wine, sometimes champagne and most of the time no alcohol. Occasionally, I like some fresh rosemary floating around.
I've never added bread crumbs and don't understand the need for those since you're going to use the bread for sopping. I don't want bread crumbs soaking up the sauce. I dip my shrimp in the sauce, too, once peeled.
I bake them more often than cooking on the stovetop and quite often, I melt the butter and mix in all the ingredients and cook those a bit together, then I cool it a bit and add the shrimp, toss and put it back into the oven. Sometimes, I let the butter get a little golden color here and there before adding the other ingredients. Brown butter fetish.

My sauce ends up looking like yours, but I've seen some NO restaurant's sauce come out more reddish. I'm curious what they add. Tabasco would help a little. Maybe paprika?

It helps sauce stick to peeled shrimp. Maybe the seasoning in the bread crumbs adds flavor too. This is always the way I've done it.

I think the sauced breadcrumbs are sticking to the shrimp, though I've never had an issue with dipping the shrimp in the sauce and having plenty of flavor. I get what you're saying. Mine are saucier, though, because I use substantially more butter than you do. Leftovers with sauce over grits is so good.
Your bread crumb method reminds me somewhat of the warm crab claws Mandina's serves. There are bread crumbs in the butter sauce. I make that pretty often. It's sort of wine garlic sauce and I scoop some of the saucy breadcrumb mixture onto the claw meat.

I don't think you could fit 1 more shrimp in that thing
