Spring Hill Ranch's Creamed Shrimp image

A different twist than your typical béchamel sauce based creamed shrimp, this is one of our favorite treats here at the ranch.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb small or medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1 c (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
5 oz cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp sour cream
2 Tbsp heavy (whipping) cream
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp dry sherry
1 tsp minced lemon zest
1 tsp lemon juice
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder (not garlic salt!)
FOR GARNISH:
sprinkles of paprika
chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Drop the shrimp into boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until they have just turned pink. Drain, cool and coarsely chop them and set them aside.
  • 2. In a food processor (or medium mixing bowl using an electric mixer), combine the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, dry sherry, lemon zest and juice, salt, hot pepper sauce, pepper and garlic powder. Process or mix until the sauce is smooth.
  • 3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sauce and the cooked shrimp, stirring just until the mixture is warmed through. Serve over toast, pasta or rice. Dust with a little paprika for color and garnish with coarsely chopped fresh parsley.

I'm not a fan of creamed shrimp, but my wife loves it. I made this recipe for her and she said it was the best she's ever had. So, I guess it's a winner!

The creamed shrimp was good, but not great. The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste and the shrimp were slightly overcooked. I'll try it again with some adjustments.

This recipe was easy to follow and the creamed shrimp turned out delicious. I added a bit of extra garlic and cayenne pepper for a little kick. Served it over pasta and it was a perfect meal.

Just made this creamed shrimp and it turned out great! The sauce was so rich and flavorful. I used jumbo shrimp and they were cooked perfectly. Will definitely make this again.

This creamed shrimp dish was a real winner! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was so flavorful and creamy. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family. I'll definitely be making this again!
