Ingredients: | Ralph and Kacoo's B-B-Q Shrimp
Source: wbrz.com - Ralph and Kacoo's, New Orleans, Louisiana 2 pounds large fresh shrimp in the shell (heads removed) 1 C butter 1/2 C olive oil 6 T minced garlic 1 T sweet basil (dried will do, but fresh is best) 4 t salt 1 t lemon juice 2 T Worcestershire sauce 5 T fresh! finely ground black pepper |

Preparation: | Melt butter in olive oil. Add all other ingredients except shrimp. Let sauce stand for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours.
When ready to cook, add shrimp to skillet and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until they are pink all over, stirring often. Serve with crusty bread for dipping. |

Notes: | Sarawak pepper is nicely spicy but super strong. If using fresh ground Sarawak (which I recommend that you do), reduce pepper to 3T, adjust to your taste.
Upping the lemon juice to a whole Meyer lemon and cutting the worchestershire sauce to 1T makes it lemony and yummy. |
