First I would just like to thank Tom for submitting this recipe. I had been searching for a recipe for barbecued shrimp for months with no luck. Well, I actually found one recipe but it was for shrimp grilled on a grill covered in bbq sauce. Now lets just get right into it. This recipe is great. I had 10 different people try some shrimp and they all loved it. Nobody could find anything wrong with it except for some weak people complaining about how hot(spice wise) it was. Another great thing about the recipe is that its very easy to make and doesn't take long at all. Just follow the simple instructions that were provided and you shouldn't run into one problem. The only negative about this recipe is the price. I didn't have most of the items on the list so I had to go buy them in addition to the jumbo shrimp. I probably ended up spending $100 on the dinner but it was well worth it. So if you are looking for some "real" barbecued shrimp, give this recipe a try because it definitely will not disappoint.

I made this with cooked, tail-on shrimp, and I let them sit overnight in the garlic/paprika/Worcestershire sauce/Italian seasoning. They turned out very tasty. Thanks!

I used frozen shrimp and cut it way down to feed just my family. Everybody who has tried it has really liked it. Definitely goes great with Italian bread!
