Mardi Gras Shrimp

This Mardi Gras Shrimp recipe is a take on New Orleans Style Spicy Shrimp – or “barbecue shrimp” – and it’s all about the sauce!

WHAT MALCOM USED IN THIS RECIPE: Butter, onions, peppers and garlic get the party started, then you add some seasonings and sauces… then once the sauce comes together you throw in your shrimp for just a few minutes to cook them.

Make sure to serve with some good dipping bread to sop up this sauce!

NOTE– it took almost 10 minutes to cook on my pellet grill, but if you do it over direct heat or on the stove it will take a lot less. Just watch them shrimps close and don’t overcook them! You want them to “pop” and not be chewy.

Happy Mardi Gras y’all!

    Tried this out this weekend. Flavors were great. I had to leave out the green peppers as the wife hates them. I stirred in some chopped baby spinach right before I put the shrimp in for the green color and it worked out great. Thanks for another awesome recipe!

    Tried the Mardi Gras Shrimp tonight. It was wonderful. I think I sauteed the vegetables a little too long, as there wasn’t as much liquid as when Malcom did them. A 14 year old that doesn’t like any kind of gravy or sauce on anything sopped it up. Thank Malcom, great recipe.
