Another Shrimp Recipe

shrimp captain
I whipped this up the other night.  The measurements aren’t exact because I just sort of made it up as I went along.  Yes, I’m a freak for shrimp.  I can’t help myself, I just love the little crustaceans.  We will just call this recipe…ummmmm…
Shrimp and Noodles with Lemon Cajun Cream Sauce
  • 2lbs. large shrimp, cleaned and deveined
  • 1/2 c. chopped onions
  • 1/2 c. chopped celery
  • 1/3 c. butter
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • 1/2 c. heavy cream
  • 3/4 c. parmesan cheese
  • a splash of chicken broth
  • Old Bay Seafood
  • garlic powder
  • lemon pepper
  • kosher salt
  • 3 dashes Tabasco
  • 1 large package egg noodles
Arrrrrrrr you ready?  Cook celery and onions in butter and olive oil until translucent.  Add shrimp, lemon juice, garlic, Old Bay, lemon pepper, chicken broth,  salt  and Tabasco and cook until shrimp are pink. 
Cook egg noodles as indicated on package. 
After shrimp are done add the cream and parmesan cheese and cook 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.  I didn’t think about it at the time but you could add a little lemon zest to brighten if wanted.  Add the egg noodles and  give it a taste and season more if needed.  Arrrrrrrr you hungry?
