Hardly BBQ and last time I checked 2 lbs shrimp tails did not weigh more than 2 lbs of anything else. Double or quadruple the recipe. I have cooked for close to 40 people. Works for rock shrimp too but require alot of cleaning as they are sandy.
And for small size the sauce recipe will easily cover 3 lbs per batch
It's most definitely BBQ Shrimp. It originated in New Orleans, most say.
[Link: mrbsbistro.com]As I said, it's a great recipe for shrimp. We love it in my house. But crawfish is an entirely different animal (pun intended). You really don't want to cook a crawfish that is already dead. Opening up a crawfish that hasn't been boiled is not a pretty experience. And it would take someone forever to peel enough crawfish to make a recipe from just the tails. 2 lbs of shrimp tails is two lbs of edible shrimp tails. 2 lbs of unpeeled crawfish is like 8 crawfish tails (maybe 4 ounces). This recipe, while it works wonderfully for shrimp, would not do much for the crawfish, flavor wise.
