SAUCY BARBECUE SHRIMP

Saucy Barbecue Shrimp image

This old, rustic Cajun dish is one of our family favorites. Don't remove the shells from the shrimp-the beauty of this dish is peeling the shrimp and dipping it in the sauce. We've doubled and even tripled this barbecue shrimp to feed crowds and it's always perfect! -Debbie Glasscock, Conway, Arkansas
