New Orleans Flavor
Our New Orleans Shrimp is a special blend of garlic, Cajun spices, butter, and excitement. Often referred to as a Cajun BBQ Shrimp, it’s more of a cajun butter sauce and not a traditional barbecue flavor.
For those along the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast, you’ll be familiar with the zesty taste of “BBQ Crabs” and know that it has nothing to do with traditional barbecue. It’s that magical spicy, deep, layered flavor with cayenne, paprika, salt, garlic, and other mix of spices that turn good into great!
As an appetizer, this dish comes out as a treat for folks to share and enjoy. The jumbo shrimp are covered in this addictive, rich and robust sauce while the bread gives a beautiful base that soaks up that fantastic flavor.
A little heat, a little kick, and dynamite taste, it’s a hit on our menu throughout the week, but we see more folks dig into it on weekends for brunch.
With so many Cajun roots here in Southeast Texas, we know our flavors MUST be on point every time. Our New Orleans Shrimp is a winner time and time again. In fact, the sauce was such a hit that we worked it into our Mardi Gras Shrimp and Grits, giving a whole new dimension to a classic Southern staple! It’s been so beloved, that we added it to our main menu, too!
We love to introduce this New Orleans Shrimp to our guests and watch as they take that first bite into the sensational shrimp. Their eyes light up, they look around to invite others to the party, and that’s it — the New Orleans Shrimp wins again!
The New Orleans Shrimp at 5 Under Golf Center’s restaurant is perfect for feeding 3 to 4 guests as an appetizer for one or two slices each. However, if you love the flavor, you may want to split it with just one other person so that you both have plenty.
The sauce and bread are filling, but that flavor is addictive and brings you back for more and more. We see the New Orleans Shrimp go out for birthday parties, large gatherings, and family dinners. We have introduced this to many folks asking for something unique and it never disappoints.
Your Best Bite
With so many flavors on our menu, it’s hard to choose a favorite. From our beloved gumbo to our Pork Ribeye and award-winning Shrimp & Grits, there are many entrées and burgers to choose from for the title of “best.”
Our president, Lance LaRue, however, points to this as his pick for the best bite on the menu.
“It’s the most dynamic flavor we have, and that’s really saying something because of our deep our menu goes,” says LaRue. “This combination of spices, butter, heat, and everything all together — it just hits different and it is my favorite flavor.”
Chef John Dingle brought this majestic meal to us with the name ‘BBQ Shrimp’ and we just knew it was spectacular. However, it really didn’t sell too well at first. The title of “BBQ Shrimp” on the menu didn’t do it justice and misled too many to think of it as smoky ribs, brisket, and pulled pork kind of barbecue. But when we got anyone to taste it, they immediately loved it; so LaRue changed the name.
To avoid the confusion around BBQ, he named it “New Orleans Shrimp” and things began to take off within a week. Those customers looking for a Cajun, creamy, extra-special taste got everything in one bite with New Orleans Shrimp!
We invite you to try this zesty dish today at 5 Under Golf’s restaurant. Along with other favorites like our Chimichurri Beef Tenderloin, our queso-topped Border Catfish, the Hatch Green Chile Mac and Cheese, and A Jam Good Burger, the New Orleans Shrimp is a signature item here we know you’ll enjoy.
