Ingredients

  • 24 large shrimp in the shell (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 bunches scallions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 large tomato or 2 plum tomatoes
  • Toasted French bread, for serving

Directions

Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails on; reserve the shells. Devein the shrimp, then rinse in a colander; drain and pat dry. Sprinkle with the Creole seasoning.

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp shells and half of the scallions and cook until the shells turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and 1 1/2 cups water and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Strain the shrimp broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl; discard the solids.

Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in the skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and the remaining scallions and cook until the shrimp start to turn pink, about 1 minute. Add the reserved shrimp broth and simmer until cooked through, about 3 more minutes.

Meanwhile, put the corn in a microwave-safe dish and microwave until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Cut the tomato into chunks. Divide the corn and tomatoes among bowls. Add the shrimp and ladle in the broth. Serve with bread.

    This was delicious, and took barely any time at all. In fact, it's one of the easiest things I've ever made, yet tasted like I slaved away for hours. I'll definitely be adding this to my "regulars" file. Only thing I changed was using cherry tomatoes cut in half instead of the plum tomatoes (cherry tomatoes are SO sweet right now; I just couldn't resist; also I think they "stay together" better than reg. chopped tomatoes.

    Thought the outcome was great. Lots of flavour from the shrimp shell broth - didn't use all the worchestershire called for in the recipe. Did add minced garlic to shrimp to kick it up. Also added more corn and tomatoes. Nice and light, goes great with a french stick.
    Going to make this more often this summer.
