Jack's Barbeque Shrimp
Why I Love This Recipe
It is important to realize that the head-on shrimp is best used when barbecuing. In Cajun country, it is a must to suck the heads of the butter-garlic flavored cooked shrimp.
Hot French bread should accompany this dish.

3 pounds 21-25 count head-on shrimp
4 tbsps diced garlic
4 tbsps cracked black pepper

4 tbsps Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsps dried basil
1 cup melted butter
1 tbsp dried thyme
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp Louisiana Gold Pepper Sauce
