Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
• 1 teaspoon tabasco sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 3 cups long-grain rice, cooked
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced green bell pepper and onion, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream, Old Bay seasoning, tabasco sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes.

Step 6

In a separate skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until pink and fully cooked.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked shrimp to the sauce and stir to coat evenly. Add the lemon juice and fresh parsley, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Serve the shrimp and sauce over a bed of hot, buttered rice. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
