How Do You Barbecue Shrimp Like Ruths Chris?
Barbecue shrimp like they make at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse is surprisingly easy to make. Barbecue shrimp is a mainstay in New Orleans and everyone has their own version of the recipe. The one presented here is pretty darn close to the one served at Ruth’s Chris. One thing that everyone agrees on is the importance of a loaf of crusty French bread to sop up the delicious sauce from the barbecue shrimp. The secret to barbecue shrimp is the butter mixture. Place the room temperature butter in a bowl and add the paprika, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt and worcestershire sauce. Stir to mix well. This can be done in advance and kept in the refrigerator. Do a double batch and freeze it and you can have Ruth’s Chris barbecue shrimp any time you want. Place the oil in the skillet and heat over medium high heat. When hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. You may have to do two batches. As they begin to curl and turn pink, turn them over. As soon as the second side is opaque remove from the skillet.
