Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

16-20 jumbo shrimp (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (2 lemons)
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
2 tsp creole seasonings (tony cacherie's)
1/3 c worcestershire sauce
4 bay leaves
3 stick unsalted butter, cubed
french bread (reislings or leidenheimer's)
lots of napkins or a wet hand towel

Steps:

  • 1. In a large heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, combine shrimp, lemon juice, garlic, lemon juice, black peppers, Creole seasoning, worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves; cook over medium high heat until shrimp turn pink, about 1-2 minutes on each side.
  • 2. Reduce heat to medium and start adding butter, a few cubes at a time, stirring or shaking pan vigorously constantly.
  • 3. When butter melts then add a few more cubes - continue until all butter is incorporated. Don't add the butter all at once, it won't emulsify into the sauce.
  • 4. Remove skillet from heat. Place 4-5 shrimp into a bowl (for appetizer), 8-10 (for entree), and pour sauce over the shrimp. Serve with lots of French Bread and a wet hand towel.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some cooked shrimp in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up.
