WOW! i loved this! one thing though, i did not add the beer. not intentionally but because i forgot it. Oops! it still tasted amazing! my family loves New Orleans recipes and they certainly loved this one!

Very good. I made extra sauce and added a little thickner and served over rice w/ french bread. Delicious!

This was very, very good. My taster was off a bit and I added too much salt, but it was my fault not the recipes. I served with homemade french bread from this site. Very rich and I think I would use as a starter next time and not as a meal. It was quick, easy and tastey and probably a 5 star if I hadn't added so much salt! DARN!!

We loved this. Only problem is I didn't make enough!

My boyfriend rated this as a 3. I was a little underwhelmed by the flavour after reading all the great reviews. Having said that though, the leftovers the next day were much better!

Truly amazing! I love BBQ shrimp. My husband made me a seafood dinner last night for Mother's Day, so I had about 1/2 a lb. of leftover shrimp to make something with. I cut the recipe in half & I made about 3 changes to the recipe: didn't have beer, subbed cooking sherry, did 1/2 butter & 1/2 EVOO, and I had to use fresh basil instead of dried (added the fresh basil to the sauteeing garlic and butter). Served with crushy French bread and I was in heaven! This is a great recipe, delish!!!!!

This was pretty good, but I had to add more Worcestershire sauce to give it enough flavor. I substituted some of the butter with olive oil, but if I make it again I would reduce the total by at least half.

Many years ago I had Barbeque Shrimp in New Orleans and I have never forgotten that dish but never seem to find a recipe that sounded close and so when I found this recipe I thought it would be worth trying. I have to say It Pretty Darn Tasty! Not too spicy and full of flavor. I served it with buttered fettuccine on the side and garlic bread. Just as good as the recipe I tried all those years ago.

This is very good, quick, and there's not much to clean up; however, I really felt the beer was out of place. The second time I replaced the beer with Ginger Ale. I also added a teaspoon or so of balsamic vinegar for zing, teaspoon or so of soy sauce (recipe needs salt), and a teaspoon or so of Tobasco (maybe too spicy for some, but just right for us). To the dry ingredients I added a teaspoon of sugar. The result was addictive. There wasn't a trace left. I'm also going to try with lemon juice.

This recipe was amazing. My mom used to make something very similar when I was younger and I was craving it. This turned out exactly like I wanted it to! I served it over brown rice with french bread. Thank you!!!!

Make extra bread. The sauce is soooo delicious!!! Kids LOVED it!!

Being from south Louisiana, I can affirm a previous reviewers statement, this is almost identical to the barbecue shrimp served at Pascal's Manale in New Orleans. Serve it with hot french bread for dipping and no doubt about it...you'll be back for seconds! It's devine!

Boy, I hate to be the first to give this less than five stars! It's a very good recipe, but I'm giving it only four. I made it as directed except for adding a bit more cayenne pepper to suit our tastes, and served over pasta. There was a hint of a flavor (maybe the thyme?) that kept it from being five stars. But still a great recipe!

My boyfriend and I absolutly loved this! So easy to make and so yummy! I served this over pasta, I recommend angel hair, and steamed broccoli on the side. Also had french bread. This one is a keeper!!

I have never rated a recipe before, mostly because I didn't want to take the time, but also because individual preparation can make such a difference. But - I needed to create an account and rate this recipe! I don't know that I woud call it New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp, but more like a spicy shrip scampi. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but I am glad that I ran into it. This shrimp is great. The spices and different flavors that you experience while eating this dish are phenominal, and somewhat rare for many home made dishes, but more what you would find in restaurant prepared meals. This is definitely worth making. Only change - I used one stick of butter instead of two, and I still had plenty of sauce. I imagine cutting the butter in half strengthened the flavor of the spices as well! Great recipe!

This is really the best shrimp recipe possibly ever. Thank you so much for sharing it.

Excellent! Not too spicy -- the kids loved it, too!

My husband is a picky eater and loved this recipe. Tonight I'm tring it with chicken.
