This dish has nothing to do with a barbecue pit or barbecuing. Why is it called “barbecued” shrimp? Beats the hell out of me. If you’re really curious, ask someone at Pascal’s Manale Restaurant on Napoleon Avenue in New Orleans; it’s where the dish was created. Me, I don’t care. This dish is so good you can call it whatever you want. Just, um, don’t have it every day. You’ll know why immediately when you see the first ingredient listed.

Barbecued shrimp recipes can be found here.  Although I have never tried it, may be ok to make these with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. That would make this a rather healthy dish.
