How to make flaming shrimp

  • Melt butter in a saucepan, chafing dish or electric skillet, depending on whether to be cooked at the table or on the stove.
  • Add garlic to butter and saute slightly to extract some of the garlic flavor. Add parsley.
  • Add rum and bring mixture up to a slow simmer.
  • Drop well drained shrimp, preferably at room temperature, into the mixture and cook fairly rapidly.
  • The best way to judge when the shrimp is cooked is when the tail shell becomes bright red and the shrimp curl into a C and are quite firm.
  • This usually takes about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • At this point, quickly stir in the lemon slices and season to taste with coarsely ground pepper.
  • Sprinkle with 1/4 cup 180 proof rum and ignite for presentation.
