Ingredients

  • A can of tomato sauce, measuring 15 ounces
  • An 8-ounce jar of seafood sauce, like the flavorful McCormick® Cajun Seafood Sauce
  • 1 cup of water for hydration
  • ½ cup of chicken broth for a savory touch
  • ½ cup of clam juice to enhance the seafood flavors
  • A teaspoon of minced garlic for aromatic depth
  • 3 tablespoons of butter for richness
  • A pinch of salt and ground black pepper to elevate the taste
  • ½ pound of shrimp, shell-on and deveined, can adjust amount according to preference

Step 1

In a large saucepan, combine a luscious blend of tomato sauce, flavorful seafood sauce, pure water, rich chicken broth, savory clam juice, and minced garlic. Allow this delightful mixture to come to a gentle boil that releases enticing aromas. Then, introduce a pat of butter into the pan, swirling it gently until it melts and infuses the sauce with a velvety richness.

Step 2

To elevate the taste profile, season the sauce generously with a pinch of sea salt and a crack of black pepper, ensuring a perfect balance of flavors. Now, it's time to introduce the star of the dish - plump, succulent shrimp. Nestle the shrimp into the bubbling sauce and let them simmer gently until they turn opaque and tender, a process that typically takes about 5 minutes.

Step 3

This culinary symphony will result in a mouthwatering seafood medley that is sure to impress your taste buds with each delectable bite.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize reusable silicone bags to store prepped shrimp and vegetables, reducing waste and keeping flavors fresh.
  2. 2. Keep Cajun seasoning in a tightly sealed glass jar to maintain its potency and aroma for future boils.
