Notes about this recipe

    This was not so easy, unlike most other BBQ shrimp recipes where the eaters have to peel their own shrimp which are cooked in the shells, here the cook have to peel and devein the entire batch of shrimp and you cannot cheat and use peeled and deveined because the heads and shells are used to make the sauce. The sauce which took about an hour to reduce from five cups of liquid down to one was absolutely delicious. I saved the leftover sauce and served it on rice and noodles. The shrimp were perfectly cooked when I removed the pan from the heat and continued to cook while I mounted the butter and wound up a tad over. My sauce also looked a lot darker than the one shown in their picture, may be it will be paler if I used home-made Worcestershire rather than store-bought. I also made the jalapeño pepper biscuits, these were supposed to be cut with a 1-inch cutter, but those shown in the recipe picture seemed to be about 3 inches, mine were the size of oyster crackers.

    Delicious sauce. It didn't reduce very quickly but the family loved it.

    These are delicious and addicting. I’ve made the recipe a few times now.
