Ruth"s Cris New Orleans Style Shrimp (Copycat Recipe)

This is a very simple and flavorful way to
prepare delicious shrimp.

Ingredients: 

1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil

28 large shrimp, peeled & deveined (tail on or off)

2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon chopped green onions

2 tablespoons dry white wine

1 teaspoon fresh pressed or minced garlic

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon tabasco sauce

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

10 tablespoons salted butter, cut into tablespoons

Method:

Add the oil to a large cast iron skillet** on a burner over medium high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook and stir just until the shrimp turn pink. Remove the shrimp and transfer to a platter.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions to the skillet (with additional oil, if the skillet is dry). Cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer for 2 minutes.

Add the garlic, Worcestershire, tabasco, cayenne and paprika. Cook  for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low.

Slowly add the butter to the pan and stir until all of the butter is melted and mixed in.

Return the shrimp to the skillet and stir to coat and reheat. Return to the platter or divide evenly between 4 serving plates.

**If you do not have a cast iron skillet, any skillet will do. If you do not have a large skillet, work in smaller batches to cook all of the shrimp.

Notes: Ruth's Chris is a high end steak house ~ It is a treat to be able to prepare this delicious shrimp at home. Serve alone over rice or vegetables, or serve as an accompaniment to chicken or steak.
