Easy New Orleans Barbecued Shrimp

"River Road" Barbecued Shrimp Seasoning makes this dish one of the easiest and most delicious meals you will ever prepare. Simply melt some butter, add Worcestershire sauce and the seasoning packet, and pop it in the oven. No kidding, it really is that easy! I started buying this seasoning mix on every trip to New Orleans years ago, and then... Hallelujah! The Rouse's grocery chain finally opened in our area. I was thrilled to find my beloved "River Road" products locally. This has truly been one of my most delicious finds, and my family agrees—it’s one of their absolute favorites. If you love Cajun cuisine, I urge you to try this dish.

I promise you won't be sorry! (Note: If you don't have a Rouse's nearby, you can find this mix online at www.fiestaspices.com)
