Description

A classic New Orleans-style dish featuring succulent shrimp simmered in a rich, velvety, and spicy herb-infused butter sauce. Perfect for serving with crusty bread to soak up every drop of the flavorful sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2–2 lb large or jumbo shrimp, shells on, tail on, deveined
  • 4 tsp Cajun or Creole seasoning, divided use
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion or shallot
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 1/2 cup seafood stock
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2–2 Tbsp hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Toasted french bread for serving
  • Chopped parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Step: Season shrimp with 2 tsp Cajun seasoning and set aside.
  2. Step: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Add onion and garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until softened. Stir in the rosemary.
  3. Step: Add shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 1 minute on each side until opaque. Remove shrimp from pan with a slotted spoon.
  4. Step: Add remaining creole seasoning, seafood stock, Worcestershire, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping any brown bits from the bottom.
  5. Step: Whisk in the cubed butter until melted. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. Step: Return shrimp to the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  7. Step: Ladle into bowls immediately and serve with toasted French bread, garnished with parsley.

Notes

If desired, replace the seafood stock with chicken stock or ginger ale for a non-alcoholic alternative. Use a favorite Cajun seasoning blend, adjusting salt based on the blend’s sodium content. Shrimp can be served with shells on for added flavor or peeled beforehand.
