Paleo New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp
Yep, here is another delicious Paleo meal that looks like it takes forever, but really is super easy and tastes even better if left to sit for a while (like so many other famous New Orleans dishes). Years ago I took my first, and only, trip to New Orleans. It was the October right after 9/11 and I was there with my then-best friend. My father had told me so much about the restaurants in that city, I owned an antique print of the Court of Two Sisters, and I had a huge agenda listing all the great restaurants we NEEDED to visit. But one night we were strolling around and dropped into some little restaurant on one of the squares where I tried New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp, and I fell in love. The best part is these are Paleo New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp not by design, but by the nature of their original design. I love that. No faking it here, just pure and simple Paleo New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp. This recipe is inspired by this recipe.
