3/4 lb butter
5 c diced onion
1 c parsley, chopped
3 tbs salt
1 tsp Louisiana Hot Sauce
2 tbs lemon juice
4 lb peeled shrimp
2 tbs Worcestershire Sauce

Cook onion in butter until clear, you will need 10-12 coals depending on the outside temperature. Add parsley, salt, lemon juice, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and simmer 5 min. Add shrimp, cover and simmer until shrimp turns pink and are done. You might have to remove a couple of coals to simmer instead of boil at this point.
