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.

Transfer shrimp to a bowl using a slotted spoon, leaving sauce in skillet.
