Barbecue Shrimp

My husbands favorite favorite meal is My Barbecue Shrimp. I’ve never really understood why people use the term “barbecue” for this dish bc both the ingredients and the taste do not lend itself to your typical bbq flavor but rather more of an herbed butter sauce but nonetheless it’s called Barbecue Shrimp and I have the best recipe for it!

This is a must try recipe! Like as in try it today! I serve the shrimp with a big loaf of French bread (dip that bread all in the sauce and experience joy😜) I promise You won’t be disappointed:)
