This recipe for Creole Butter Shrimp was so buttery, flavorful, and delicious. We couldn’t stop popping these and were fighting over the last bites!

I am addicted to all things New Orleans and this recipe made me feel like we were right back there! We made this and poured the shrimp and sauce over some white rice along with a side of sourdough bread. It made such a good meal. My husband has already been asking me when we are going to make it again. 🙂

We like to get the bag of uncooked tail on shrimp from Costco in the frozen section, they are really good and the shells and veins are already removed. So much easier!

This recipe for Creole Butter Shrimp was so buttery, flavorful, and delicious. We couldn't stop popping these and were fighting over the last bites!

Ingredients

• 32 large uncooked shrimp we like the bag of frozen tail-on shrimp that you can get at Costco

For The Butter Sauce:

• 1/2 c. butter melted
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice

• 1 Tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne less if you don't like it spicy

Instructions

• Pour sauce into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
• Grill shrimp over high heat about 2 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from grill and place in a serving bowl. Pour the butter sauce over the top. (Remove tails as you eat).
