Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined - shells reserved
1 bay leaf
1 pinch smoked paprika
1 cup water
½ lemon, juiced
¼ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 clove garlic, minced
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Place shrimp shells into a saucepan with bay leaf and 1 pinch of smoked paprika over medium-low heat; cook and stir shells until they turn pink, about 5 minutes. Pour in water, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer shrimp stock for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Mix lemon juice, ketchup, brown sugar, ground chipotle pepper, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, garlic, 1 pinch of salt, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
  • Strain shrimp stock into a bowl; discard shells and bay leaf. Whisk shrimp stock into ketchup mixture and set aside.

Transfer shrimp to a bowl using a slotted spoon, leaving sauce in skillet.
  • Bring sauce to a boil and cook until sauce has reduced and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in cold butter, turn off heat, and let residual heat of pan melt butter. Stir until butter has incorporated into sauce and sauce is slightly thickened.
  • Stir shrimp into sauce and toss with chives. Serve shrimp with sauce.
