Step 1
Start by pouring the tomato sauce, seafood sauce, water, chicken broth, clam juice, and garlic into a saucepan. Bring everything to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once it’s bubbling, toss in the butter and stir until it’s completely melted and the sauce feels smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground pepper to taste. Next, add the shrimp to the sauce and let them cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and are cooked through—this usually takes about five minutes. Once the shrimp are ready, give everything a good stir and it’s ready to serve.
