Ingredients

Directions

  3. Add shrimp in a single layer and sear the first side for 1 1/2 minutes without moving them.
  4. Flip shrimp and immediately add Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and shrimp stock to the pan.
  5. Stir in the remaining black pepper and Creole seasoning.
  6. Remove skillet from heat. Add chilled butter pieces one at a time, stirring constantly until fully emulsified and sauce is glossy.
  7. Stir in a few drops of Tabasco sauce to taste.
  8. Divide shrimp among plates, spoon sauce over top, and serve immediately.

Note

Use large or jumbo shrimp for best results; smaller shrimp will cook too quickly and become rubbery.

Ensure butter is chilled before adding to help create a stable emulsion for the sauce.

Serve with jalapeno biscuits, crusty bread, or over rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Creole seasoning can be adjusted to taste; start with less if sensitive to spice.

Do not overcook shrimp; they are done when opaque and firm, usually within 3-4 minutes total cooking time.
