Modern Shrimp Sauce

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter (For drawn butter)
• 1 Egg Yolk (Large egg)
• 0.5 cup Cooked Shrimp (Peeled and deveined, chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice (Freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (Or to taste)
• 0.125 teaspoon Black Pepper (Freshly ground, or to taste)

Instructions

1. 1Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Be careful not to brown it. This creates the drawn butter.
2. 2Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately whisk in the egg yolk until the sauce is smooth and emulsified. Be careful not to scramble the egg yolk by adding it to butter that is too hot.
3. 3Stir in the chopped cooked shrimp, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Heat gently if needed, but do not boil.
4. 4Serve the shrimp sauce immediately over your favorite seafood, vegetables, or pasta.
