Bubba Gump's Shrimpin' Dippin' Broth

• This is not the original recipe.   I, of course, have slightly modified it.   I have made this several times and it is always a big hit.   It's quite spicy, so if you want, you may want to reduce or eliminate the cajun seasoning used on the shrimp.   The broth will be spicy enough.
  
  
  Always serve this in a bowl over a 1/2 cup of white rice and with a 2-3 inch piece of a fresh baguette!   The fresh bread makes this soup, so don't skip it!
  
  
  INGREDIENTS FOR THE BROTH:
  
  
  1/2 tablespoon butter
  1 teaspoon minced garlic
  1/2 teaspoon Tony Cachere's Cajun Seasoning
  1/2 teaspoon pepper
  1 can of Cento White Clam Sauce
  2 cups of water
  1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  1 chicken bouillon cube
  1/4 teaspoon sugar
  
  
  Sauté pepper, Cajun seasoning, and garlic in butter for approximately 5 minutes over medium heat.  Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil.   Allow broth to simmer approx 15 minutes.  Cook shrimp while broth simmers.
  
  
  INGREDIENTS FOR SHRIMP:
  
  
  1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (frozen is okay, should be thawed)
  2 tablespoons butter
  1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  1 teaspoon black pepper
  1 teaspoon Tony Cachere's Cajun Seasoning
  1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
  lemon wedge (optional)
  1 cup cooked white rice
  1 fresh baguette
  
  
  Melt butter in pan.   Add shrimp, Worcestershire, black pepper, cajun seasoning and garlic.   Cook until half done.   (Shrimp will finish cooking in broth.)
  
  
  Reduce broth to low and add shrimp.  Turn off heat.   Allow shrimp to finish cooking in hot broth (approx 3-4 mins).   Serve immediately.   Add 1/2 cup of rice to bowl.  Ladle shrimp broth over rice.  Serve with fresh baguette.
