Ruth’s Chris Copycat BBQ Shrimp

Have you ever had BBQ Shrimp before? I don’t mean grilled shrimp but southern BBQ Shrimp. This Ruth’s Chris Copycat BBQ Shrimp recipe doesn’t go anywhere near a grill or barbecue but is done in a cast iron pan on the stove top. Ruth’s Chris has some amazing recipes that I love replicating, we have done quite a few now on the site. This one is just about the best thing I have ever had with shrimp though. Truly an amazing experience. I think it is related to BBQ because of the wonderful sauce that these shrimp are in, spice, garlic and butter, you really can’t go wrong.

To take this over the edge Ruth’s Chris serves them from appetizer to entree and for your dinner selection they add in roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Heavens this dish will just blow your mind!! We made this for a romantic night for two but it can be increased to 4 servings easily by doubling or taking away the potatoes for an appetizer. You are going to want to try this recipe, trust me, it is truly awesome!!

Ken dove into making this recipe with abandon. I do almost all the recipe development for you but Ken does a lot of the execution. He loves being in the kitchen with me or on his own.

Sometimes this BBQ shrimp recipe is served with shell on shrimp and you just have to dive right in there getting your fingers and face all into that sauce. Well, at Ruth’s Chris it is a bit more sophisticated and they just leave the tails on. Try this recipe today at your next BBQ, it will be a fast favorite and you will impress everyone with this amazing recipe. It would be great at anytime of the year too as it doesn’t need grilling. I can see this being a favorite Valentine’s Day treat.

    Just to clarify, for the mashed potatoes, is it one large garlic clove or one large garlic head? One clove doesn’t seem quite enough.

      We only used one large clove but feel free to add more if you want. With it being roasted you can be generous with the garlic.

    My daughter just started college, needless to say we won’t be at RChris anytime soon. So I made this tonight, it was delicious! It cost me about 12$ to make(we live in Louisiana…shrimp is cheap). Will be enjoying for the foreseeable future!

    Tried this last night for New Year’s and the sauce look like it was on track, but then turned dark and the butter separated from the sauce. What did I do wrong?

      Sounds like you might have had the heat on too high. Make sure your butter is cold too that might help.

    I love their BBQ Shrimp! And this recipe doesn’t seem to hard or complicated to make. I will definitely be trying it! What kind of white wine did you use?

      For most of my cooking, I use a sauvignon blanc or something that I am drinking. Not too sweet.
