I need a good BBQ shrimp recipe

OTIS2’s Take on Prudhomme's BBQ Shrimp


First of all, Paul's recipe in La Kitchen is one of the best .Having said that, I made my own changes. I don't measure much but I wrote this down the other day for a friend.
INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs head on large/jumbo shrimp(9-12 ct)
2 sticks unsalted butter
1/2 cup shrimp stock
1/4 cup good beer
3T Worcestershire sauce
1 t black pepper
1 t red pepper
1 t crushed red pepper
1/2 t each, dried basil, oregano, thyme and rosemary
3 cloves crushed, fresh garlic
2 green onions, minced
3T Italian parsley, minced
3T brown sugar
1 lemon, sliced thin


METHOD:
Melt butter in a sauce pan; add garlic and sauté 1 minute over med. heat. Add all dry seasonings, then stock, beer, and green onions. In a baking dish, place shrimp in one layer if possible. Pour the sauce over the shrimp, top with parsley and lemon slices. Put in a preheated 425 degree oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, turn the shrimp and place back in oven until the shrimp are fully pink, but do not overcook. Total cooking time will be 10 minutes or less depending on the size of the shrimp. Serve with good bread for dipping in the sauce, of course. Recipe can be multiplied easily.
Tip: Clean the shrimp by pinching the eyes off and removing the whiskers.

Report back if you like it. We do.

I use the Mr. B's recipe, although most of the best recipes are very similar.

New Orleans Barbequed Shrimp
Don’t break out your grill for this dish. Here in New Orleans, barbecued shrimp means sautéed shrimp in Worcestershire-spiked butter sauce. We serve these shrimp with heads and tails on, so you need to dig in to enjoy. I highly recommend a bib.
We are famous for our barbecued shrimp, and with reason. The biggest trick to making this taste like ours is to not hold back on the butter. The three sticks called for are enough to scare you into cholesterol shock, but are key to the flavor and consistency of the sauce. Another tip to keep in mind: to emulsify the sauce, be sure to add a little butter at a time while stirring rapidly. And don’t overcook the shrimp or they’ll become tough and hard to peel.

16 jumbo shrimp (12 per pound, about 1 1/2 pounds), with heads and unpeeled
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
French bread as accompaniment

In a large skillet combine shrimp, Worcestershire, lemon juice, black peppers, Creole seasoning, and garlic and cook over moderately high heat until shrimp turn pink, about 1 minute on each side. Reduce heat to moderate and stir in butter, a few cubes at a time, stirring constantly and adding more only when butter is melted. Remove skillet from heat. Place shrimp in a bowl and pour sauce over top. Serve with French bread for dipping.
Yield: 4 appetizers or 2 entrees

I'm actually thinking I will make them today.

Overcooking will certainly make the shell more difficult to remove
