Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of large shrimp, prepared by removing shells and deveining, seasoned with a touch of salt and pepper
  • A generous amount of 2 tablespoons of butter
  • A quarter cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • A cup of steak sauce, such as the flavorful A-1 variety
  • Two spoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce to enhance the taste
  • Three fluid ounces of dry sherry or Madeira for a hint of sophistication
  • Two tablespoons of versatile all-purpose flour
  • Three tablespoons of water for the desired consistency
  • Additional 2 tablespoons of butter for richness
  • Lastly, a tablespoon of canola oil to elevate the flavors

Step 1

Prepare the shrimp by generously seasoning them with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper, allowing the flavors to meld together. Let them sit for a moment while you move on to the next step.

Step 2

In a saucepan set over a medium flame, melt a couple of tablespoons of butter until it sizzles gently. This is where the magic happens. Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice, a dollop of steak sauce, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, and a hint of sherry or Madeira for that extra touch of richness. In a separate bowl, blend together a bit of flour and water until smooth, then gently incorporate this mixture into the bubbling sauce. Keep stirring until it thickens into a luscious, velvety texture. Adjust the consistency to your liking by drizzling in a touch more steak sauce if it's too thin or a bit more sherry for a thicker finish. Keep the sauce warm as you move on to the shrimp.

Step 3

Heat up a combination of butter and canola oil in a spacious skillet over a high flame, ensuring the pan is nice and hot. Toss in the seasoned shrimp and sauté them until they turn a lovely shade of pink and are no longer translucent, which should take around 5 minutes. When they're perfectly cooked, transfer them to a warmed serving platter and generously ladle on that delectable sauce you prepared earlier. The final touch is to serve this delightful dish piping hot, allowing all the flavors to mingle and dance on your taste buds. Enjoy!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. To make sure your shrimp delight stays fresh and flavorful, store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
  2. 2. If you prefer a more rustic touch, wrap your shrimp delight in a clean kitchen towel and keep it in the coldest part of the fridge.
  3. 3. For a burst of freshness, store your shrimp delight in a glass jar with a sprig of fresh herbs like dill or parsley.
