These right here? These creamy vodka lime shrimps, my friends, will be the only way you’d want to eat shrimps from this point forward.

Bold statement, I know, but please, take a bite of the succulent shrimps, sop up a crusty chunk of french roll in that sauce, or slather the whole delicious mess over rice (or pasta) and I bet you’d agree this is the best seafood you’ve ever had.

This is a very quick and easy dish to make, using simple ingredients you probably already have. That is, of course, if you like to keep Vodka on hand for that screwdriver kind of fun night. If you don’t have on hand, this recipe is worth buying a bottle for (and this –>one, too!).

The recipe starts with cooking the shallots in butter and olive oil for a good 3 to 5 minutes to draw out their natural sweetness. A generous heap of garlic is added for a boost of flavor and aroma, a few squeezes of lime juice over the shrimps to brighten up the whole dish with a bit of tang, and a healthy splash of Vodka to stabilize the heavy cream and keep it from curdling in the citrus acids. If you have a bunch of fresh basil or parsley in the fridge, julienne and toss them in just before serving for a nice, earthy scent. Enjoy!
