Now, there are as many versions of bbq shrimp as there are people, and everyone has their favorite or secret. We've tried creating our own, but always return to Marcelle Bienvenu's recipe from her cookbook, Who's Your Mama, Are You Catholic, and Can You Make a Roux? I have tweaked it just a smidge, as I prefer fresh garlic to garlic powder, but you can use garlic powder if that's your preference. For those of you starting a New Year's diet, etc, make this recipe before the stroke of midnight, as it's definitely not lo-cal, but it's an awesome way to welcome the New Year!
