This recipe is a perfect hot weather dish! It’s done in less than 15 minutes, and you can make it light and healthy by serving with a salad and some veggies. If you’re a bread lover, don’t forget to add a piece of French bread to soak up the sauce.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- 2 sticks of butter (if you don’t care to make a sauce, you can reduce this to 4 tbsp or just add some olive oil to your pan.)
- 2 pounds shrimp (peeled, de-veined)
- 1 tbsp chopped rosemary
- 1 tbsp Slap Ya Mama (or your favorite Cajun blend)
- One lemon
- Worcestershire sauce
- Dry white wine
HOW TO MAKE IT:
- Prep your shrimp. For this recipe, I like to use 16/20 ct. shrimp
- If fresh, de-head, de-vein and peel them, then wash.
- If frozen, defrost and wash; peel after defrosting if they are not already peeled.
- Cube up two sticks of butter (16 tbsp)
- Zest one lemon
- Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel.
- Melt about 4 tbsp of butter in a nonstick skillet.
- Add shrimp to the pan.
- Add 1 tbsp of Slap Ya Mama original seasoning (or your favorite Cajun blend).
- Add 1 tbsp chopped rosemary.
- Allow shrimp to simmer about 4-5 minutes and stir so they cook evenly.
- Add lemon zest.
- Add a splash of worcestershire sauce.
- Add a splash of your favorite white wine (or you can use vermouth- dry).
- Cook until all shrimp are just pink and remove from heat.
- Add remaining butter and stir.
- Taste, and add more Slap Ya Mama if you’d like — or really heat things up with some cayenne pepper on top!
- Enjoy!
