This is my favorite "go to" recipe. It is quick and easy and always gets rave reviews. My family begs me to make it often.
Barbecue Shrimp
This signature Creole barbecue shrimp recipe from New Orleans is reborn with a low-fat shortcut or two. The peels are left on the shrimp so they can add flavor to the lush, buttery-peppery sauce. The bread means no sauce goes to waste.
Yield: 5 servings (serving size: 5 ounces shrimp with sauce and 2 bread slices)
