Gordon Ramsay's Easy New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp Recipe | Ramsay Around the World

[Music] right my take on a barbecue shrimp now i know there's so many different variations but whilst here i thought i'd do a beautiful quick and easy barbecue sauteed shrimp with the most amazing pickled asparagus these have been peeled and deveined really important the vein is just getting out of that little sack from the back there like that peeing them i like leaving the ends on there especially when you pick them up and eat them and more importantly the heads on that's always a great sign of an amazing shrimp with their heads on and the flame inside those heads are second to none now up here um it's the start of the picture of my asparagus i love pickling because it's a really nice way of eating something highly acidic with something so sweet and delicious so a cup of vinegar brought up to the boil a cup of sugar brought up to the boil dissolve the sugar really important a pinch of salt in there and then i've got some really nice fresh dill okay just bring them up and then from there a little bit of lemon okay again really nice way of making it last and the good thing about pickling vegetables is they can eat any time how do i cook the asparagus you know sometimes they don't even need cooking but what i like to do is get a nice hot nonstick pan salt that pan really important i want to toast the asparagus okay so we're going to sort of get asparagus in there and scorch them just like that again scorch them and that just sort of brings out the flavor lightly sauteed i'm not cooking them all the way through the cooking syrup has just come up to the boil turn that off and let that cool down with the asparagus and give them a nice little seasoning a touch of old bay just a touch it's almost like a sort of hot spicy pickle but look at the asparagus now look what's happening to them sort of going that really nice dark nutty color and the flavor on them is beautiful now once they start to really toast like that especially with the spice on there take your little jar take them out and literally just pop them in to the jar okay and like i said they last forever they don't go off they're pickling them and i always find by toasting them first it's a really nice crunch to asparagus look at that have flavor on there especially the seasoning it's so beautiful it's a really nice accompaniment to serve there you go room for one more down there in january take your liquid and then just literally pull that over nice and carefully up to the top nice okay okay let them cool down completely set them in the fridge it's got this really nice delicious pick-me-up snack but it's great accompaniment especially for the bbq shrimp now when it comes to the shrimp these things cook so quickly so get ready so what i mean by getting ready is get your slots get your garlic and just literally slice them not too thin by the way too thin they'll burn quickly so just down again garlic not too thin from there just bring that up a little bit okay and snap them all but just open up a little bit you'll see why it's so beautiful nice and hot again this is a very very quick action so shrimp nicely seasoned seasoned with some salt a little bit of old bay and quite generous on the seasoning don't forget i'm gonna roll it around season the heads as well like i said the flavor in those heads is incredible from there a little touch of olive oil and get some color on the shrimp first lay them down beautiful into the pan at the top of the pan and work your way down okay now these things literally take 60 seconds each side again seasoning on the other side lightly and then from there i want to get that old bay in there as well see the shrimp tightening up a touch of olive oil before i turn them i'm going to start sprinkling my shallots and my garlic all the way around the outside okay the chocolate garlic are really important part of this dish don't tell the shrimp yet i'm going to turn them once it's really important sometimes you have the work ingredients in the pan like that so how you don't want them breaking up but now look what's happening the shrimp are starting to colour beautifully around the outside show my butter just tiny little speckles of butter in there time just take them off and take those little buds off and literally pull them down and season with the time i've got some nice fresh little plushies of dill there as well now it's time to turn the shrimp beautiful look at the color of these shrimp amazing amazing you feel more about now literally 60 seconds each side slots cooking nicely and then a touch more butter and then we'll lay the pan with a little touch of pressure now that's going to get a really nice and an amazing sort of caramelized flavor beautiful now for the formula stand back thumb at the end [Music] your eyebrows now literally before they come out of the pan take your lemon and off and squeeze that all over [Music] so beautiful simple execution when it comes to serving in you can see now why we sliced everything so nice and thinly [Music] now now what do we use to mop up that incredible flavor underneath all those shrimp a little bit of a french baguette and what i want to do is just literally turn these in half lightly toast that pan with a touch of oil again gently season it spice world in a way that the old bay the creole occasion you know there's lots of debates there's crawl in the center it's cajun in the province it's everywhere so get that oil nice and hot and then literally get your bread in and just toast that nicely beautiful both sides nice and generous now this goes a long way when you get to the bottom of that bowl the flavor from the shallots and the garlic and the butter and the vodka and the touch of olive oil is so tasty so you want something really nice to mop it up with beautiful french bread oh my god so good toast so bread beautifully done and then how do you how do you find that balance you know take your asparagus out and just slice them in half there's still a really nice crunch but it's a sort of spicy crunch and it really is an amazing accompaniment to go with your beautiful shrimp honestly so easy let the ingredients do the talking and there we have the most amazing barbecue shrimp northern style with some beautiful french bread and delicious vibrant pickled asparagus enjoy let me know in the comments what you think of that

My new favorite drinking game is to take a shot every time Gordon says "amazing" or "beautiful".

I'm hammered.

1. This looks nothing like New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp. One of my favorite dishes that I have had in the French Quarter more times then I can count.

2. I love Gordon but he really need to workout if he is going to wear that shirt. 🤪

I’m not sure Gordon Ramsay has any idea what New Orleans cuisine is. Tasty dish, but not Creole or Cajun. Classic Creole dishes never had shallots because no one knew what they were. And there’s definitely not any Old Bay being used...
