This old, rustic Cajun dish is one of our family favorites. Don't remove the shells from the shrimp—the beauty of this dish is peeling the shrimp and dipping it in the sauce. We've doubled and even tripled this barbecue shrimp to feed crowds and it's always perfect! —Debbie Glasscock, Conway, Arkansas

Very spicy. Just very messy. Next time I will clean the shrimp so they don't have to remove the shells at the table. I also will thicken the sauce and serve basmati along with the baguette slices.
