World's Easiest Creole Shrimp!

"If you're like me, you keep a bag or two of shrimp in the freezer, just in case. In this slightly more gourmet approach to a simple shrimp a la Creole, I was able to work an entire day, take a 1/2 hour break and whip this up for my Grandmother for lunch! AND get back to the office!"

  • then add the white wine, pasta sauce and cayenne.
  • Bring to a gentle boil.
  • Once boiling, add pepper flakes, black pepper, butter and lime juice.
  • Stir gently and frequently until the butter is melted.
  • Bring to full boil.
  • ADD shrimp (with juices in bag).
  • Stir to mix flavors, add the Creole seasoning and allow to cook in the remaining heat of the pot until shrimp turns pink.
  • cover and REMOVE from heat and let it rest while you prepare to serve.
  • If you like more "sauce", you can add more wine and adjust seasonings to taste.
