BBQ Shrimp Recipe

This flavorful shrimp recipe is a Lapeyrouse family favorite. Originally published in the October 2012 issue.

SERVES 4 – 6

Ingredients
3 slices bacon, chopped
1/4 pound butter
1/4 pound margarine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 tablespoons Rex Liquid Crab Boil
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco
1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp, with heads on
French bread, for serving

Directions
1. Fry bacon in large sauté pan on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until crisp.
2. Add all ingredients except shrimp and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir often to create the butter base and to prevent ingredients from sticking to the pan.
