Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lb large shrimp (shells on, deveined)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Creole seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 loaf French bread (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together until the butter is fully melted and combined with the oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Creole seasoning, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and hot sauce. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to combine the flavors.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in an even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side.
Flip the shrimp over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions and parsley over the shrimp and stir gently to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the shrimp immediately in the sauce, alongside slices of crusty French bread for dipping.
Enjoy the bold and spicy flavors of this New Orleans classic!
