Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb small or medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1 c (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
5 oz cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp sour cream
2 Tbsp heavy (whipping) cream
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp dry sherry
1 tsp minced lemon zest
1 tsp lemon juice
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder (not garlic salt!)
FOR GARNISH:
sprinkles of paprika
chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

1. Drop the shrimp into boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until they have just turned pink. Drain, cool and coarsely chop them and set them aside.
2. In a food processor (or medium mixing bowl using an electric mixer), combine the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, dry sherry, lemon zest and juice, salt, hot pepper sauce, pepper and garlic powder. Process or mix until the sauce is smooth.
3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sauce and the cooked shrimp, stirring just until the mixture is warmed through. Serve over toast, pasta or rice. Dust with a little paprika for color and garnish with coarsely chopped fresh parsley.
