At this time of year, “barbecue” pretty much means one thing: meat grilled and served with a red sauce that is kind of sweet and kind of spicy.

But there’s another kind of barbecue, one from New Orleans. There, it also means shrimp that are sauteed in a skillet with lots of butter, garlic and spices, especially cayenne pepper. Not your typical barbecue.

So serve this with some good old dirty rice for a fast--and different--kind of summer ritual.

Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, green and red peppers and cook, stirring until slightly softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice, broth and water. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
