Barbecue Shrimp Bread Bowl Recipe

We first made the barbecue shrimp bread bowls about 25 years ago. The bbq shrimp bread bowls can be used as a main course or an appetizer. The recipe is very versatile! So many different types of bread and cheese can be used. Sourdough, whole wheat, rye bread, or my easy buns recipe. Cheddar, monterey, or swiss cheese! The barbecue shrimp bread bowls come together very quickly. You can have it ready in no time as a quick dinner solution!

The bread for the barbeque shrimp bread bowl

The size should be the size of a hamburger bun, but the type of bread is up to you! I am partial to my bun recipe but I usually use sourdough buns for this recipe. Not only do the sourdough buns taste great but they can stand up to the bbq sauce and keep their shape. The choice is up to you what to use!

Putting it all together

Shelled and deveined shrimp can be purchased at most stores. I used a 12 ounce bag of medium sized frozen shrimp to make it easy. 12 ounces of medium sized shrimp filled all six buns just fine. Coat the shrimp with the olive oil, sea salt, and cracked pepper. Roast on a parchment lined baking sheet at 350 degrees F for 4 minutes or until the shrimp are pink.

Scoop out bread to form a bowl. I usually save the bread that has been scooped out to make bread crumbs or croutons. When scooped out, place on a parchment lined baking sheet.

The barbeque sauce is your choice. I have a Memphis bbq sauce on my site, or you can use your favorite. I have also used buffalo wing sauce for the shrimp bread bowls. Mix the bbq sauce with the shrimp in a separate bowl. Once mixed, place the bbq and shrimp mixture into the bread bowls. Spread cheese on top of the shrimp and bake for around 8-10 minutes. Enjoy!
