New Orleans BBQ Shrimp recipe?

So, this thread is on topic if you cook it on the egg!  (I did this one on the stove)
A long time ago we had a nice discussion regarding New Orleans BBQ shrimp recipes.  Everyone posted their favorites and I think also some pictures.  I searched a bunch and could not find the thread (I only found one short thread).
So if anyone has a favorite recipe or method, please share it.  I did a Google search and made this one which mostly followed Mr. B's Bistro recipe.  All the ones I found online were similar.  While I did like it, I found the Worchester sauce to be a little overpowering.  Curious what other methods you guys used.  (I didn't have an option to buy head on shrimp, but I know that is preferred for the recipe).
Appreciate any tips!

This is 1.4 lbs. of fresh East Coast shrimp;

I served it with crusty sourdough bread, fresh ground black pepper, and lots of sauce for dipping;

    The recipe from Mr B’s seemed slightly off to me compared to the restaurant. I cooked it one time before and it wasn’t quite the same. Maybe it was me.

    If you liked the overall taste of the recipe, simply reduce the amount of WS sauce or omit it all together. 
    One other thing, most of us prefer one brand over the other. With that said, try a different brand of WS sauce. For me, this one is king.

    I didn’t know there was another brand

    Nice work buddy!  Mr. B's has some really good BBQ shrimp.  Anytime I have a dish that calls for butter and Worcestershire, I err on the butta side and cut back on the L&P.
    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.
