Simple Norfolk Seafood Recipe Inspired by O’Donnell’s

This is such a good recipe and so simple to make. The story behind this recipe is interesting. When I was a young boy, we used to go to a seafood restaurant in Washington DC called O’Donnell’s. They had wonderful food, and most importantly, they had Buck.

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: American

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

1/2 lb Shrimp Jumbo Lump Crab or Langoustines, raw and shelled
2 Tbsp Butter
2 cloves Garlic chopped
Dash of Old Bay Seasoning
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
Few dashes of Tabasco
Splash of White Wine
Salt and Black Pepper

Equipment

Oven Proof Dish Medium Saute Pan

Method

Heat your pan until fairly hot, then add butter and garlic and keep stirring so the garlic does not brown and turn bitter. Add your seafood and continue stirring, then add all remaining ingredients and cook until the seafood is done.

You will want to have all ingredients handy, as you need to work quickly. If it’s shrimp, they are done when they curl and turn pink and if it’s langoustines or crab, they just need to be heated through. It’s 2-3 minutes max.

Then remove the seafood with a slotted spoon and set aside in your serving plates and then reduce the sauce down by half and pour over the seafood and serve. You will love it and Buck would be so proud.
