Welcome to the channel, introduction to BBQ shrimp.

Explain that there are two components to the dish and that it will be a New Orleans-style barbecue butter.

List ingredients: 1.5 tablespoons minced garlic, 3 teaspoons paprika, 0.5 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1.5 tablespoons cayenne pepper, and sriracha sauce as a substitute for Tabasco.

Prepare the butter by letting it sit at room temperature for about 4 hours for easy handling.

Mix the dry ingredients into the softened butter, ensuring everything is well incorporated.

Wrap the butter mixture in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer overnight to harden.

The next day, prepare to cook the shrimp by heating olive oil in a pan until it starts to smoke.

Add the shrimp (13/15 size, peeled with tails on) to the hot oil and cook briefly to avoid overcooking.

Add chopped green scallions to the shrimp as they cook.

Introduce the previously made barbecue butter into the pan with the shrimp.

Add 0.5 teaspoon of flour to thicken the sauce.

Pour in heavy whipping cream and mix well to coat the shrimp.
