Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp Creole seasoning
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp hot sauce
  • Kosher salt
  • Crusty French bread, for serving

Method
 

  1. Pat shrimp dry and toss with Creole seasoning, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Let sit 5 minutes.
  2. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear shrimp in a single layer 1 minute per side, just until pink, then transfer to a plate.
  3. Lower heat to medium, add remaining butter and garlic, cook 30 seconds. Stir in Worcestershire, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Simmer 2 minutes until slightly reduced.
  4. Off the heat, return shrimp and any juices to the skillet, toss to coat and warm through. Garnish with parsley and serve with crusty bread.

Notes

The sauce will look a little separated when it hits the table. Just give it a quick stir and spoon it over the shrimp. If you want extra heat, dust on more black pepper right before eating.
