Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and chop the onions, garlic, and jalapenos.
-
Saute Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped jalapenos, onions, and garlic. Saute for about 3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
-
Cook Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
-
Add Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, then sprinkle in the ground cumin, dried oregano, and salt. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
-
Incorporate Cream: Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to incorporate it into the sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes over medium-high heat, ensuring it thickens slightly.
-
Final Touches: Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter until it melts and blends into the sauce. Add the chopped parsley and mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
-
Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the Peppy Shrimp hot over cooked rice, pasta, or slices of toasted French bread. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
