Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb uncooked shrimp with shells on
2 Tbsp cajun seasoning divided
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion chopped
4 clove garlic minced
2 bay leaves
3 lemons juiced
2 c water
1/4 c worcestershire sauce
1/4 c dry white wine
2 c heavy cream
3 Tbsp cold butter sliced into 3 pats

Steps:

  • 1. Remove the shells from the shrimp and keep the shells. Sprinkler the shrimp with 1 tbsp. Cajun seasoning over the shrimp and rub it all over. Set the shrimp in the refrigerator until needed.
