Recipes from our Friends: Jody's BBQ Shrimp

Our friend Jody W of BirminghamI had the great pleasure of meeting Jody from our mutual friend Jessica Cooley- you might remember Jessica as our gorgeous, blonde bombshell RV driver from the Martie Knows Parties tv pilot we filmed last year? Anyway- since then, I've gotten to know Jody better and found out that she's quite the cook. We worked on a tornado clean-up effort together last week and I'm her biggest fan! She talked about this BBQ Shrimp recipe and I told her could not wait to try it. As luck would have it, perfect timing, she sent it to me on National Shrimp Day! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us, Jody! Can't wait to dip that bread in and take a bite! Yummmyyyy!

JODY'S BBQ SHRIMP

Makes enough for 4-6 depending on how hungry you are. I say 4... they are that good. 

Ingredients

4 lbs unpeeled large fresh/frozen shrimp
2 lemons cut into wedges
2 bay leaves
1 cup of butter, melted
1 cup of ketchup
1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce
4 garlic cloves, chopped
3 Tbsp Old Bay seasoning (find it in most spice aisles or near the seafood counter)
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme 

Place the shrimp in a 13x9 inch pan; top with lemon wedges and bay leaves
Stir together butter and the next 6 ingredients. Pour over shrimp. 
Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until shrimp are pink. Stir every 10 min.  Discard bay leaves.

Serve with lots of fresh French bread for dipping.
