I found this recipe on and is from Chef Terry Conlan, Lake Austin Spa and Resort. My brother makes a similar recipe but it has a lot more butter and calories than this one! Here is what the Chef has to say: This is a lightened version of one of New Orleans best and most beloved blue collar dishes. Read more . Peel-n-eat shrimp in a spicy warm broth. Get plenty of bread to sop up the sauce. You'll love it, I Gar-on-tee !! Ingredients:
cajun spice mix |
2 teaspoons paprika |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
1/4 teaspoon leaf thyme |
1/4 teaspoon leaf oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
or |
2 tablespoons your favorite cajun spice mix |
shrimp and sauce |
1 lb large shrimp shell-on (20-30 count) |
non-stick pan spray as needed |
2 large garlic cloves minced |
1/4 cup onion minced |
1 cup fish stock or clam broth |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce or more to taste |
1/2 cup dark beer *cook may drink the rest |
2 tablespoons flour |
4 tablespoons butter (or light margarine) |
-- served with |
1/4 cup parsley or cilantro (chopped) |
1 loaf french bread warmed |
Directions:
1. Mix the spices together and set aside.
2. Saute the shrimp using the non-stick spray over medium high heat in a heavy, non-stick skillet until the shrimp just begin to turn pink. Add the spice mixture to the skillet along with the minced garlic and onion. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
3. Combine the flour, beer, Worcestershire and stock. Stir this mixture into the skillet and cook for one minute. Lower the heat and add the butter. Shake the skillet just until the butter melts.
4. To serve, divide the shrimp and sauce into four wide bottom soup bowls. Garnish with parsley. Accompany with bread for sopping up the sauce. Have extra bread on hand to get every bit of sauce. It's that good.
