Mississippi Barbecued Shrimp

Ingredients

To taste

• fresh ground black pepper
• sea salt (or Kosher)
• Tabasco sauce
• brown sugar

Directions

1. 1

   In a large, heavy pot, melt the butter with the olive oil.

2. 2

   Add the green onions, rosemary and thyme and saute over low heat.

3. 3

   Squeeze all the cloves out of the baked garlic into the pot and stir, combining all the wonderful flavors.

4. 4

   Add the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, wine, and parsley and let it all come to a very slow boil, then simmer and taste.

5. 5

   Season with salt, pepper, Tabasco, and the optional brown sugar.

6. 6

   Once the taste is so good you need a straw, turn up the heat and add the shrimp, shells and all!

7. 7

   Stir and cook the shrimp just until the shrimp turn pink, about 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Take the pot to the table and serve.

9. 9

   **To somewhat lower the fat content, chicken broth can be used for some of the butter, but it's not quite as good.
