Ingredients

Servings
  • ¼ cup butter salted
  • ¼ cup shallot minced
  • 3 cloves garlic about 1 tablespoon total, pressed or minced
  • 2 lbs. Shrimp large, peeled, deveined and patted dry
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth low-sodium
  • cup chili sauce (such as Heinz brand)
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary chopped, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon thyme chopped fresh
  • crusty bread optional, for serving
  • rice
  • pasta
  • fresh herbs for garnish, additional

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring constantly, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
  2. Add the shrimp to the skillet; sprinkle with Old Bay. Cook the shrimp for 5-6 minutes, flipping once, until they are opaque and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a large bowl.
  3. Add broth to the skillet, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook until slightly reduced, 8-9 minutes.
  4. Stir in chili sauce, lemon slices, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary and thyme; cook for about 30 more seconds. Remove from heat and pour the sauce over the shrimp. Serve immediately with pasta, bread or rice; garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium broth since the Old Bay and Worcestershire sauce already contribute a good amount of salt to the sauce. You can always add extra salt at the end, if necessary.
  • Use fresh or frozen shrimp. If starting with frozen shrimp, you can quickly thaw them by placing them in a colander and rinsing under cold water for a few minutes.
  • Keep a close eye on the shrimp. The total cooking time will vary depending on the size of your shrimp, so remove them from the skillet as soon as they are pink and opaque. If you overcook shrimp, they become rubbery and tough -- not ideal!
  • Fresh herbs are always best, but you can substitute with dried herbs when necessary. If using dried herbs, reduce the amounts to ¼ teaspoon of both rosemary and thyme.
