Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Butter Shrimp Sous Vide.
Step 1
Begin by setting up your sous vide apparatus.
Step 2
Fill a large pot or water bath with water and attach your sous vide cooker, adjusting the temperature to a precise 135°F (57°C) as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, generously coat the shrimp with Creole seasoning, ensuring each piece is well-covered for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Arrange the seasoned shrimp in a single layer within a large vacuum-seal bag, then artfully distribute strips of lemon zest, fresh thyme sprigs, and slices of butter over the shrimp.
Step 5
Seal the bag tightly with a vacuum sealer, making sure to eliminate all air for optimal cooking.
Step 6
Immerse the sealed bag into the preheated water bath and set your timer for 30 minutes, allowing the sous vide magic to unfold.
Step 7
When the timer goes off, carefully extract the bag from the water bath.
Step 8
Open the bag and transfer the succulent shrimp to a serving dish, adding a sprinkle of extra Creole seasoning on top if you desire an extra kick.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful flavors of your perfectly cooked shrimp, a dish that brings a taste of the bayou right to your table.
