Shrimp Rockefeller Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook Spinach

    Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make Creamy Mixture

    Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.

  5. 5

    Combine Shrimp and Cream

    Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, mixing with the creamy spinach mixture. Allow everything to heat through for about 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Flame with Pernod

    Carefully add the Pernod to the skillet. Ignite with a long lighter or match to flambé, allowing the alcohol to burn off. Shake the skillet gently until the flames subside.

  7. 7

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the shrimp mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

  8. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
