This recipe for Creole Butter Shrimp was so buttery, flavorful, and delicious. We couldn’t stop popping these. 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. Beau 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!

- 32 large uncooked shrimp we like the bag of frozen tail-on shrimp that you can get at Costco
For The Butter Sauce:

-
Pour sauce into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.

WONDERFUL!!!!! So yummy. I think we will make dirty rice next time because we didn’t care for the sauce on the rice. But so good!!!!

I also cut up a small lemon in wheel slices and add to the marinade.
