Photo: Mr. Story's BBQ Shrimp Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce, or more if you like it spicier
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 pounds extra-jumbo shrimp (16 to 20 per pound), shell left on
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 loaf French bread
Directions
Heat the grill to high.
Place a few large cazuelas or a large high-sided saute pan on the grates of the grill. Add the butter, pepper, salt, lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire and thyme and cook until the butter has melted and the mixture begins to simmer.
While the butter mixture is melting, toss the shrimp with the oil and place on the grill in an even layer. Grill for 20 to 30 seconds per side then transfer to the butter mixture, stir to combine and cook until the shrimp are just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley.
While shrimp is cooking, split bread in half, sprinkle with olive oil and salt and pepper, and place on grill, cut side down, for 1 to 2 minutes until toasted.
Serve shrimp with the grilled bread.

I love this recipe, and grow extra thyme each season just so I can make this whenever the mood hits! I do make a few small changes, though....
I use cilantro instead of parsley, reduce the salt and pepper a bit, and use easy-peel shrimp.
When I make the bread, I spread a little garlic paste on it after the oil, then grill it.
I have made this at family gatherings, and everybody always raves over it. It's a real roll-up your sleeves crowd pleaser! Don't change the lime like others have said - just use cilantro instead of parsley. It's addictive!

Mistake made on the ingredients, should have been lemon juice as the show has in it not lime. Made it the first time with lime - yuck! Second time was much better with lemon juice. You need to have a strong taste buds to handle that much worchester sauce at one time. Made it a third time with lemon and half the worchester, really good this time. Live and learn.

With all due respect, the shrimp recipe was simply awful. Too much worstershire sauce. Not good.
