BBQ Shrimp, With Love

I’m now in New York, upstate near the border of Vermont, and needless to say it is cold. After spending so much time in Miami this summer, my seafood addiction has gotten really strong. The cold just makes it worse. Time for BBQ shrimp!

This shrimp isn’t actually BBQ’d nor does it use a BBQ sauce. The name actually has really no relativity to the recipe. It is broiled shrimp with an incredible spicy and warm sauce that is absolutely irresistible. It provides a great amount of heat without overwhelming the palate with spice. Cooked with shells, and in the oven, it provides a great little buddy for a corona, landshark or my personal diet favorite Michelob Ultra with lime. Add a loaf of french bread and this is not only a meal/appetizer but an event. Peeling and dipping and eating and drinking. It’s an experience, a warming, cozy experience perfect for a cold winter evening in the Adirondacks.
