Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for perfectly baked shrimp that’s tender and flavorful.
- Melt butter in a medium pan over medium-high heat, allowing it to froth gently. This will create a delicious base for your sauce.
- Sauté onion and garlic for 1 minute until fragrant, letting their aromas weave a comforting atmosphere in your kitchen.
- Combine stock, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, herbs, cayenne, and salt. Stir to blend these ingredients into a luscious, tangy mixture.
- Cook and mix well for 3 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a rich backdrop for the cream sauce.
- Stir in the cream and let it simmer for 10 minutes, watching it thicken and become luxuriously creamy and inviting.
- Lower the heat when the sauce bubbles, cooking until it’s slightly thickened—this is the moment to achieve the perfect consistency!
- Set aside the sauce and turn off the heat, allowing those delightful flavors to develop even further while you prepare the shrimp.
- Mix paprika and spices in a small bowl, ensuring they’re well combined for an even coating on the shrimp.
- Place 500g of cleaned shrimp on a baking tray, arranging them in a single layer for optimal cooking.
- Season shrimp with the spice mix, flip them gently, then brush with melted butter and bake for 7-8 minutes. They should be pink and perfectly cooked!
- Plate rice in the center of a serving dish, creating a comforting nest for your flavorful shrimp.
- Pour sauce around the rice generously, ensuring every bit is coated in that creamy goodness.
- Add shrimp on top, then sprinkle diced onion and spring onion for a pop of color and freshness.
