Bubba Gump Copycat Shrimp

Bubba Gump Copycat Shrimp

Bubba Gump Copycat Shrimp is a spicy seafood dish with lots of flavorful broth that’s perfect for mopping up with some crusty bread. It has a taste similar to New Orleans-style BBQ Shrimp, but it’s much healthier.

Just a little butter is used to make the broth and cook the shrimp. The main ingredient in the broth is clam juice. You could use shrimp stock if you’re lucky enough to have some.
