Louisiana Barbecued Shrimp

  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves,minced
  • 1/2 cup onion,minced
  • 1/2 cup celery, diced
  • 1/4 cup parsley, minced
  • 1 each juice & rind of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil, ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano, ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon bacon fat
  • 5 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Salt to taste
 

Method

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan except for the shrimp.  Cook, stirring frequently 35-50 minutes.

Set aside to cool.  Making this well ahead  guarantees a deep flavor.  You can refrigerate sauce for one good week to allow flavors to truly develop.

Marinate shrimp in sauce a minimum of 1 hour.  Arrange shrimp on barbeque skewers (bamboo soaked in water are attractive).  Barbeque on medium grill to the side, basting continually with left over sauce.  Shrimp will not need more than 5 minutes.   Do not overcook.

Serves: 10  This can be cut down, but it's best to make a good supply of the marinade.
