Printer Friendly
Recipe submitted by chefdude7263






Ingredients   (view qty in metric system instead)
1 pound large or medium fresh shrimp, shelled, deveined, shells reserved
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tbsp. heavy whipping cream
1/4 tsp. salt


Directions
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Spread the reserved shrimp shells on a sheet pan and bake about 6 minutes until dry. Transfer the shells to a food processor and blend until crushed. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the crushed shrimp shells and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and let the butter steep 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Line the inside of a strainer with a double thickness of cheesecloth. Strain the shrimp butter through the cheesecloth into a small bowl. Gather up the cheesecloth and squeeze any remaining liquid out of the shells. Cool the butter completely.

Melt 2 tbsp. of the shrimp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side until just done. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and keep warm. Stir the cream into the skillet and heat through. Swirl in another 2 tbsp. of the shrimp butter 1/2 tbsp. at a time. Stir in the salt. Spoon the sauce onto 2 plates and lay the shrimp over. Serve the shrimp immediately.

Serves 2.
