Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ounce whiskey
- 0.333 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces white bread slices
Instructions
Prepare the shrimp by ensuring they are peeled and deveined, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Carefully add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on one side until they turn pink, then flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to low-medium and carefully pour the whiskey into the skillet. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.
Add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them gently in the sauce to coat. Simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes to heat through.
To prepare the toast, lightly toast the bread slices until golden and crisp. Cut each slice diagonally into two triangles.
To serve, place two toast triangles on each plate. Spoon the shrimp and sauce over the toast, dividing evenly among the plates.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Whiskey Shrimp on Toast!
