Directions
Combin the tomato sauce, seafood sauce, water, chicken broth, clam juice, and garlic in a saucepan. Bring everything to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once it’s bubbling, add the butter and stir it in until it melts completely. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Then, add the shrimp to the pan and let them cook in the sauce for about 5 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Once done, give everything a good stir and it’s ready to serve.
Serving Tips
Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges on the side to enhance the flavors. A crusty bread or coleslaw pairs well to balance the spices and add some crunch. This meal is great when served family-style on a large platter.
Freezing Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to avoid overcooking the shrimp. For best results, reheat with a splash of water or broth to keep everything moist.
