This New Orleans classic is always a crowd pleaser! Shrimp are cooked in a spicy, savory sauce and served with French loaves and green salad.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs fresh Gulf shrimp, rinsed and patted dry (leave shells on to cook) shopping list
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup butter, or butter substitute, or olive or coconut oil shopping list
- juice of 2 lemons shopping list
- 1 cup dry white wine shopping list
- 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce (optional) shopping list
- 6 garlic cloves, minced shopping list
- 3 green onions, chopped shopping list
- Several stalks of fresh thyme (about 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves) shopping list
- 2 tbsp creole seasoning or Old Bay Seasoning shopping list
- 1 tsp black pepper shopping list
- Several dashes of hot pepper sauce (optional, to taste) shopping list
How to make it
- In a large, heavy pot, heat two tbsp of the butter or oil.
- Add the garlic, green onions, and thyme, and cook for a minute, stirring.
- Add the remaining butter or oil to the pot.
- When the rest of the oil has heated up, add the shrimp and Creole seasoning to the pot and cook for two minutes, stirring.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pot, and lower to medium-low heat.
- The shrimp will gradually turn pink as they cook thoroughly.
- When all the shrimp are pink, turn the heat to low and allow to cook for another 5 minutes.
- Serve the shrimp, along with lots of the extra "juice", in big bowls with warm baguettes for sopping, a green salad with a light vinaigrette, and your favorite wine or iced tea.
- Be sure you have lots of napkins on hand, and maybe a few bibs, too!
