Outstanding

This signature Creole-Sicilian favorite from New Orleans is reborn with a low-fat shortcut or two. The peels are left on the shrimp so they can add flavor to the lush, buttery-peppery sauce. The bread means no sauce goes to waste.

Yield: 5 servings (serving size: 5 ounces shrimp with sauce and 2 bread slices)

Ingredients

  • 1/2  cup  fat-free Caesar dressing
  • 1/3  cup  Worcestershire sauce
  • 2  tablespoons  butter or stick margarine
  • 1  tablespoon  dried oregano
  • 1  tablespoon  paprika
  • 1  tablespoon  dried rosemary
  • 1  tablespoon  dried thyme
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  black pepper
  • 1  teaspoon  hot pepper sauce
  • 5  bay leaves
  • 3  garlic cloves, minced
  • 2  pounds  large shrimp
  • 1/3  cup  dry white wine
  • 10  (1-ounce) slices French bread baguette
  • 10  lemon wedges

Preparation

Combine the first 11 ingredients in a large nonstick skillet; bring to a boil. Add shrimp, and cook 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add wine, and cook 1 minute or until shrimp are done. Serve with bread and lemon wedges.

All we have to say is FABULOUS.. Super easy to make.. We put a little more hot sauce and used two fresh jalepenos from the garden.. No leftovers. Will make this one again and again.07/20/09

I'm from New Orleans...& this blows most local restaurant bbq shrimp recipes to bits! Super easy! Taste incredible! Great made with ruby red prawns from the Gulf!!!! It's the only bbq shrimp recipe I ever use. And it's much lighter than the traditional bbq recipe. Added bonus!06/12/09
