How to Make Spicy Creole Shrimp
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup creole seasoning, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1 pound of shrimp to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the Creole mixture.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Reduce heat to low and slowly whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Transfer the shrimp to a serving plate and drizzle generously with the delicious Creole butter sauce. Serve immediately over angel hair pasta (optional) and garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
