Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure the shrimp are deveined but keep the shells on for added flavor.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.
Once the butter is melted, stir in the minced garlic and saute for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to the skillet. Stir the mixture well to combine and allow the spices to bloom for about 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken stock and lemon juice, stirring to incorporate. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in an even layer. Stir well to coat the shrimp with the sauce. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the shrimp and give everything a final stir to combine.
Serve the Barbecue Shrimp Orleans immediately in shallow bowls alongside crusty French bread for dipping into the delicious sauce.
