Ruth's Chris New Orleans Shrimp Recipe

Ruth's Chris New Orleans Shrimp recipe is all about rich, buttery goodness.
And oh how it good it is with its combo of a touch of spice and fresh ingredients!
One key trick is to make sure the shrimp are cooked until they are just done for maximum juiciness.
This dish balances the heat from cayenne pepper with the smoothness of butter and the aroma of garlic.
Letting the shrimp sit in the sauce for a few moments before serving really allows the flavors to meld beautifully!
