Recipe : Shrimpin' Dippin' Broth

Jeff and I LOVE going to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. whenever we travel.   One of the things we used to order all the time is Shrimpin' Dippin' Broth.  We love it but I knew that this had to be super simple to make at home and way cheaper.  I did some internet searches and found this recipe.  It's actually better than BG!!

In a small sauce pan, combine :

1 bottle clam juice (this is the hardest part of the recipe, finding clam juice! Use what you can find - 10 oz or 12 oz..  It could hiding in either the juice aisle or the canned fish aisle)
1/2 tbsp butter
1 tsp Worchestershire sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 ts minced garlic
1 chicken bouillon cube

Bring to a boil then reduce to low, stirring occasionally, while you go through the next steps.

In a saute pan, melt together:

2 tbsp butter
1/2 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1/2 tbsp minced garlic

Once the mixture is melted and combined, add 1 lb raw shrimp.  If you use peeled and deveined shrimp, more sauce will stick to the shrimp.  But you can use EZ peel shrimp and peel the shells off before you eat.

Cook for 1 1/2 minutes then flip shrimp. 

Cook 1 minute more then pour broth over the top, cooking until the shrimps are done (pink).  Remove and pour into 2 bowls.

Serve with garlic bread or over rice.

I started making this recipe this way and it's easier.  I also think the shrimp picks up more flavor!

You will need :

1 bottle clam juice (this is the hardest part of the recipe, finding clam juice! Use what you can find - 10 oz or 12 oz..  It could hiding in either the juice aisle or the canned fish aisle)
2 1/2 - 3 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tsp Worchestershire sauce
2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 1/2 lb raw shrimp

Combine all ingredients except for shrimp and clam juice in a large saute pan.  Stir until combine.  Add shrimp and cook through, turning once.  Remove shrimp to two bowls.  Add clam juice to saute pan and heat through.  Pour over shrimp and serve.
