Grilled New Orleans-Style Shrimp

Really enjoyed this!

Everything about this was delicious! I added a dash of cayenne pepper, for a little zip. While keeping the shells on did in fact keep the shrimp moist, it was a mess taking the shells off for eating with the sauce coating on it. Needless to say, that was the only downfall. The family didn\\'t like the mess, I thought it made it authentic.

All reviews so far are complaining about name or ingredients. Does anyone want to tell me if the recipes is good or not! What changes you would make if any. That\\'s what I thought a review was!!

Cajun Style??

I think its comical when people assume Cajun mean \"hot\". I grew up with it and it was never hot. In fact when it was hot....someone usually complaine. I think the commercial food industry created \"Cajun Style\". You can make any style food \"hot\" if you want it to be.

New Orleans-style???!!!

annie_prieto@att.net - April 23, 2009 02:23:26 PM PST

I always find it comical when cooks/chefs add chili powder to a recipe and call it "New Orleans-style"...The New Orleans cuisine is mainly \\\'creole\\\', which is a combination of Spanish, French and African, NOT Cajun, so, New Orleans-style food is ful of flavor but not hot/spicy. Also, 21-25 shrimp are not "large"...in New Orleans that size shrimp is considered medium...and last but not least, a New Orlenian would never open up a shrimp that\\\'s being grilled or boiled because it makes the flesh tough and rubbery...we usually don\\\'t worry much about the "vein" since whatever is in there will come out if boiling, or will be cooked off if grilling or broiling. So, although this recipe sounds like it would be rather tasty, calling it New Orleans-style is misleading...how about calling it just "Spicy Grilled Shrimp"????

Cajun is a type of seasoning used in most Creole Cooking. Creole cooking is also consisted of carribean style cooking. Not just the Spanish, African, French
