Description
Pascal's Manale invented barbecue shrimp in 1953 and today it's one of the most copied New Orleans dishes in the world. It has nothing to do with barbecue. There's no grill, no coals, no skewers…
Pascal's Manale's most important ingredient is the head-on shrimp. As Chef Mark DeFelice says, "The head on the shrimp is important because it contains the fat and the protein, and that's where a lot of the flavor is from in the barbecue shrimp.
It may be hard to find head-on shrimp in cities away from the coast, so DeFelice came up with a shortcut. He uses more spices to make up for the flavor of the missing heads.
From NPR's Hacking Iconic New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp Far From The Gulf: http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/07/19/423605844/hacking-iconic-new-orleans-barbecue-shrimp-far-from-the-gulf
Ingredients
- 1 lb. shrimp (or 21-25 headless, wild caught is vastly superior to farmed shrimp)
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/4 tsp. Tabasco Sauce
- 1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
- 4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. thyme
- 1 tsp. oregano
- 1 tsp. basil
Directions
- Wash and pat dry shrimp. Add the Manale spice mix (everything after garlic), garlic, Lea & Perrins and Tabasco. Then pour the olive oil over the shrimp, adding the white wine. Stir together. (Though it's not in Mark's recipe, I saw him put a big pat of butter in the pan.)
- Cook over high heat until shrimp are done, approximately 10 minutes. Do not overcook shrimp.
- Serve the shrimp in a wide soup bowl, and have hard-crust French bread on hand for dipping in the buttery, peppery sauce. Peel the shrimp and eat
- The dish is best accompanied by a bottle of ice-cold Abita Amber Beer and a Louis Prima song.
