Cook Time Prep Time Total Time Servings
10 minutes 20 minutes 30 minutes 4

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:

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and chop the onions, garlic, and jalapenos.

  2. 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.

  3. Cook Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

  4. Add Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, then sprinkle in the ground cumin, dried oregano, and salt. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

Enjoy Your Peppy Shrimp Delight! 🌢🍀
