Directions
Combin the tomato sauce, seafood sauce, water, chicken broth, clam juice, and garlic in a saucepan. Heat it over medium-high until it comes to a boil. Once boiling, add the butter and stir everything together until the butter melts completely. Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper to taste. Then, toss in the shrimp and let them cook in the sauce until they turn pink and are cooked through, which should take about 5 minutes. Give everything a gentle stir now and then to make sure the shrimp soak up all those flavors. Once the shrimp are done, you’re ready to serve!
Serving Advice
Serve alongside a crisp green salad or buttery corn on the cob to balance the spice. Warm crusty bread or fluffy rice also complement the dish well, soaking up the flavorful juices.
Food Storage Guide
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid overcooking the shrimp and drying them out.
