About
this recipe
Shrimp has long been a staple of Southern cuisine with classic dishes like Shrimp and Grits, Shrimp Creole and Seafood Gumbo. We've created a Kentucky spin on the diminutive crustacean by deglazing our pan with Maker's Mark® Bourbon. We then simmer the shrimp in the bourbon, along with cream and stock. Served on toasted French bread, this velvety shrimp dish works as an entrée or hearty appetizer. The smoky, mildly briny flavor is rounded out nicely by the notes of vanilla and caramel derived from the Maker's Mark® Bourbon.
