    List of Ingredients




    6 T. clarified butter, divided*
    2 small bay leaves
    2 med. shallots, minced
    3 T. all-purpose flour
    1/8 t. paprika, or as needed
    1 1/2 t. chicken base
    Pinch of white pepper
    Pinch of cayenne pepper
    1 1/2 lbs. of shrimp
    1/2 C cream sherry (do not use dry sherry)

    Recipe



    Melt 3 T. butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add bay leaves and shallots and saute about 2 min. or until shallots are fragant and softened.

    Stir in flour and enough paprika to give roux a nice red color. Cook stirring about 3 min. Slowly add heavy cream and chicken base. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Season with both peppers.
    Keep this cream sauce warm. In a large nonreactive skillet, melt remaining 3 T. butter over medium-high heat.
    Add seafood and saute about 2 min. or until just
    cooked thru.
    Transfer seafood to cream sauce with a slotted spoon.

    Add sherry to skillet and, using a oden spoon, stir and scrape any browned particles from bottom of pan. Stir sherry into cream sauce. REMOVE & DISCARD BAY LEAVES.

    *To clarify butter: Melt 3/4 C. butter over low heat. Skim off and discard the foam on top. Refrigerate the remaining butter. When it has chilled, remove the solid piece of clarified butter and discard the milky residue on the bottom.
    This will yield about 6 T. clarified butter. (In addition to the seafod I used above, other suggestion are sea scallops, grouper, crab meat,dolphin, salmon, or lobster tail. Just remember to use a pound and a half of any or a combination of any of the above.

    Excellant recipe from Brennan's at the Beachcomber Restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale,Fl. This is 4 servings, and I used a pound and a half shrimp (shelled and deveined) It is absolutely to die for. A real special treat!
