Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Tipsy Shrimp Delight.
Step 1
Start by seasoning your shrimp with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, then set them aside to soak in the flavor.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Once melted, pour in the zesty lemon juice, savory steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and your choice of sherry or Madeira for a touch of elegance.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together flour and water until smooth, then gently stir this mixture into the sauce in the saucepan.
Step 5
Keep stirring as the sauce thickens and transforms into a velvety delight.
Step 6
If you find the sauce is too thick, simply add a splash more steak sauce; if it’s too thin, a little extra sherry will do the trick.
Step 7
Once your sauce is just right, keep it warm while you turn your attention to the shrimp.
Step 8
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with some canola oil over high heat.
Step 9
When the butter is bubbling and fragrant, add the seasoned shrimp to the pan.
Step 10
Cook them for about 5 minutes, watching as they turn a beautiful pink and become opaque, signaling they’re perfectly done.
Step 11
Once the shrimp are cooked to perfection, transfer them to a warm serving plate and generously drizzle the luscious sauce over the top.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors that will surely impress your guests or make for a cozy night in.
