Instructions
- Heat 1/3 cup of the butter in a large skillet until melted. Add the shrimp, salt, and black pepper and cook over high heat, stirring often, until the shrimp are cooked through. This will take about 5-6 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked shrimp to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the cooking wine, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced to about 3 tablespoons and is quite syrupy.
- Immediately add the mixture to the shrimp in the food processor and process until the shrimp are puréed. With the motor running, add the remaining butter, a few pieces at a time, and process until thoroughly blended. Turn the food processor off and taste the shrimp paste for seasoning. Add additional salt or black pepper as needed.
- Let the shrimp paste cool completely before using. Store covered in the fridge for up to one week.
