Best-Ever BBQ Shrimp
Report
This truly is the Best-Ever BBQ Shrimp. It's so easy and so incredibly delicious. The homemade BBQ sauce is the secret to putting these over the top. The sauce can be made up to 5 days in advance.

Ingredients
- 1 lb extra large shrimp shells removed and deveined (leave the tails on, if desired)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 3 cups BBQ sauce (You'll need about 2 cups for basting, and another cup for serving)
Instructions
Do Ahead
- Prepare Easy Homemade BBQ Sauce
Prepare and Grill the Shrimp
- Place the cleaned shrimp in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and Creole (or Cajun) seasoning. Stir to fully coat. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Fire up your grill.
- Add 5 to 6 shrimp on each skewer.
- Baste the shrimp on both sides. Carefully place the shrimp over direct heat on your grill. Grill for about 3 minutes per side, basting each side liberally with more BBQ sauce. The shrimp is done when it is pink and lightly charred.
- Serve at once with reserved BBQ sauce on the side.

- The BBQ sauce can be made up to 5 days in advance. This recipe uses about half of the BBQ sauce recipe. The extra can be frozen for up to 2 months.
- The blog post for a Creole seasoning recipe, if you can't find any. Most Creole (or Cajun) seasonings have plenty of salt in them, so no need to add more salt, unless making your own. If you are making your own, add about 1 teaspoon of salt to the shrimp when coating with the oil.
- If baking, place in a heat-proof pan (or cast-iron skillet) and place in the middle of the oven with the broiler on HIGH for several minutes. Keep an eye on them, as broilers vary. Don't let them burn! They will be ready when pink, curled, and lightly charred.
