A tradition for my husband's family is to have seafood on New Year's Eve! So, this year we made this dish. It is delicious! I originally had this when Matt's sister made it and then found it online for us to make this year.
For those with dairy allergies, I just substituted the butter with a non-dairy butter substitute and it turned out wonderfully!
Ingredients
for Cooking Shrimp
- 1 lb of medium-sized shrimp (already peeled and deveined -- frozen is fine!)
- 2 tablespoons of butter (or butter substitute)
- 1/2 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon of your favorite Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
Ingredients
for Broth
- 12 ounces of clam juice
- 1/2 tablespoon of butter (or butter substitute)
- 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 cube of chicken bouillon
White Rice
Crusty Baguette cut into slices
Instructions
-
Begin preparing your broth by sauteeing your garlic, Cajun seasoning and black better in the butter
over medium heat. This shouldn't take long -- 5 minutes tops.
-
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Immediately bring it down to a
simmer and get to work preparing your shrimp.
-
Melt your butter in a decent-sized sauce pan. Immediately add your shrimp,
Cajun seasoning, garlic, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until shrimp are
not quite done. This should only take a minute or two.
-
Add broth and heat until entire mixture is simmering nicely. At this point your
shrimp will be cooked perfectly and ready to eat!
-
Pour into a generous soup bowl. Serve alongside the white rice.
Try it. :) You'll definitely make it part of your yearly tradition as well!
