Paleo Cajun BBQ Shrimp

Paleo Cajun BBQ Shrimp



Ingredients:

 

2 pounds fresh, jumbo shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/2 cup grassfed butter (Kerrygold), melted
1/2 can tomato sauce
1 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
3 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. onion powder
2 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. sea salt
3 tablespoons EVOO or coconut oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 to 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper or 1/2 tsp. Capsicum, depending on the heat you want
1 1/2 teaspoons Liquid Smoke (hickory)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Chipotle Tabasco sauce

*Chipotle Tasbasco, Liquid Smoke, and Smoked Paprika add to that "Smokey" cajun flavor.

Directions:

Add all ingredients, except shrimp, in skillet or saucepan, stir and let simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat and let cool to room temperature.  While sauce is cooling, peel and de-vain shrimp.



Toss shrimp and sauce together and pour all into a 9x11 casserole dish

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or more, even overnight if time is available.

When ready to eat, preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake shrimp for 20 minutes.

 

 

Enjoy with some great veggies sprinkled with some cajun seasoning or even a fresh Baby Spinach Salad!  Of course, at my house they were gone before I could prepare anything to go with them.  If you are wondering why I don't have a picture of the shrimp done in the casserole dish, THEY SCOOPED THEM UP AND ATE IT ALL BEFORE I COULD GET THE CAMERA!  Had to use my bowl to take a picture!
