Adapted from Gourmet magazine. This is shrimp, butter & spices, it does NOT contain cream cheese. Originally for toast, but it is AMAZING on baked potato, steak or fish (like tilapia). This is very easy to make & even easier to devour! My first recipe to post! I'm so excited!! Cooking time includes the chill time. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 lb shrimp, peeled & deveined |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 cup onion, minced |
2 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne |
Directions:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium high heat until melted.
2. Sauté shrimp with salt & black pepper until just cooked through - about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes.
3. Transfer shrimp to food processor.
4. In the same skillet, cook onion in 1 tablespoon butter over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Scrape onions & any remaining butter in the skillet into the food processor. Allow to cool, about 15 minutes.
6. Once cooled, add lemon juice, cayenne and remaining 1/2 cup butter to the food processor. Pulse until shrimp are finely chopped.
7. Chill in the refrigerator at least 6 hours.
8. Before serving, allow to come back to room temperature.
9. Serve on toasted bread, crackers, steak, fish, potatoes or anything you can think of.
