Wild Gulf Shrimp w/ Clams and Roasted Tomato Butter

Shrimp and Clams in a smokey roasted tomato broth is all sorts of good! Grab a bottle of wine and some nice crusty bread and you have a delicious meal in as little as 15 minutes.

This dish is one of my favorites to make. Quick, easy and not short on flavor. I had the pleasure to partner with Sea To Table and use their delicious sustainable seafood that is nothing short on quality.

Sea To Table’s Wild Gulf Shrimp

For this recipe, I used Sea To Table Wild Gulf Shrimp. Once it hit the hot butter, the sweet aroma brought me back to the shrimp back home in NOLA. One of the great things about Sea To Table’s Wild Gulf Shrimp is that it is traceable. Upon receipt, on the label, it states the species, how it was caught, and where. Which I think is amazing. What is better than knowing where your food comes from??

You only have 4 main ingredients. Wild gulf shrimp, clams, roasted tomato butter, and wine.

Preparing the Roasted Tomato Butter

For the compound butter, I took room-temperature butter and added finely minced roasted tomatoes, parsley, garlic, smoked paprika, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

If I were you, I would make a nice-sized batch, wrap it in some wax paper, and store it in the freezer. It is addicting and perfect to pair with some steak or toss with hot pasta.
