Equipment
  • 1 medium saucepan
  • 1 serving dish
Ingredients
  
  • 1 pound medium shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • Fresh lemon juice optional
Instructions
 
  • Start by preparing the shrimp.
    Peel and devein the shrimp, ensuring that they are clean and ready for cooking.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
    Add the minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
    This process allows the flavors to release and infuse the butter.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
    Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
  • Add the water and rice vinegar to the saucepan, stirring to combine the ingredients.
    Cook the mixture for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
    If desired, you can also add a splash of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
  • Carefully add your prepared shrimp to the saucepan.
    Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque.
    Be cautious not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough and rubbery.
  • Once your shrimp are cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat.
    Transfer the shrimp and sauce into a serving dish, garnishing with chopped spring onions.
    The Bubba Gump Shrimp New Orleans is now ready to be enjoyed as a main dish or appetizer.
    Enjoy your delicious Cajun shrimp dish inspired by the Bubba Gump Shrimp!
