COPYCAT KILLER SHRIMP
This is a copycat recipe, after the Killer Shrimp restaurant in Southern California. This is the most authentic recipe I have found -with some minor adjustments, and is wonderfull. Be sure to serve with alot of crusty bread for dipping, the broth and bread is the best part of the meal to me. I usually do half and half clam broth and chicken broth, as a personal preference. We do peel and eat shrimp, but I have made with peeled shrimp as well. Posting here as I don't see another like it combined with safe keeping, can't lose this!

KILLER SHRIMP
Steps:
- To make the butter, place the herbs, salt, pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and whisk by hand until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to a food processor and add one-quarter of the butter cubes. Process on high speed, slowly adding the remaining butter cubes one at a time until you can no longer see white pieces of butter.
- To make the shrimp, use a paring knife to make a slit up the back of each shell to faciliate easy peeling and to let the flavor in. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place 8 tablespoons of the Cajun Butter in the hot skillet and allow to melt, being careful not to burn it. Toss in the shrimp and cook for 1 or 2 minutes. When they start to turn pink, turn them over and cook for another 1 or 2 minutes, being careful not to overcook. When almost fully cooked through, cover the shrimp with the ale and clam juice and reduce the heat to medium-low. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Divide into bowls and serve with the baguette.
- note
- The extra Cajun butter can be reserved in a sealed container for future use. The butter goes well with grilled fish or steak.

KILLER SHRIMP SOUP
There's an awesome little restaurant in Marina Del Rey, California called 'Killer Shrimp' that serves up one thing -- Shrimp soup. This is an easy to prepare spicy herb soup with lots of broth, flavor, and a little kick. It doesn't need any fancy presentation. Simply ladle it into big bowls and serve. Don't bother using spoons, just serve it with some crusty bread and use the bread to soak up the broth.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Choose the right size shrimp. Medium or large shrimp work best for this recipe. Smaller shrimp will overcook and become tough.
- Peel and devein the shrimp. This will help to remove any grit or impurities from the shrimp. You can also buy shrimp that has already been peeled and deveined.
- Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to add flavor and moisture to the shrimp.
- Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp only take a few minutes to cook. Overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Killer shrimp is best served hot and fresh from the pan.
