Southern Cakes Recipe

Marinate the Shrimp

In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated.

Marinate

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Shrimp

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

Create Sauce Base

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Finish Sauce

Add bourbon, chopped pecans, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.

Mix Ingredients

In a large pot, combine diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Stir well to combine.

Cook Preserves

Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add pectin and stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

Cool and Store

Once thickened, remove from heat and let cool. Store in sterilized jars.
