Ingredients

Here are the simple ingredients you’ll need to make this delicious fondue.

32 ounces of chicken broth – low-sodium chicken broth or stock. Full sodium broth tends to evaporate more quickly.

1/2 cup white wine vinegar – we use Star white wine vinegar with a crisp and tangy flavor, but most brands will work well.

2 tablespoons garlic – fresh minced garlic cloves or jarred minced garlic.

1/4 cup green onions – diced fresh green onions. (Learn how to slice green onions.)

1 pound raw shrimp – peeled, deveined raw shrimp with the tail on or off. Large in size, reference our shrimp size chart.

Dipping sauces – see our list of favorite dipping sauces.

Variations to try – add 1) a splash or two of Worcestershire sauce, 2) freshly grated ginger, or 3) black peppercorns.

Supplies

• Electric fondue pot – the Cuisinart electric fondue pot is our favorite.
• Fondue forks or skewers
• Serving plates
• Sauce bowls or plates

How to Make Shrimp Fondue

Follow these easy steps for flavorful shrimp fondue ready in no time.

Step 1 | Preheat Fondue Pot and Add Broth Mixture

Start by preheating your fondue pot, setting it to medium heat. Next, add the chicken broth, white wine vinegar, and minced garlic. Whisk together.

Step 2 | Set Temperature to Medium-High Heat

Set the fondue pot temperature to medium-high heat. Bring to a soft boil.

Step 3 | Add Green Onions

Then add the chopped green onions and you are ready to fondue. (Here’s an easy guide to cutting green onions, or scallions.)

Step 4 | Cook Raw Shrimp on Skewers

For food safety, keep the raw shrimp in a bowl separate from serving plates or bowls.

Use fondue forks or skewers to spear and cook shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes each.

Shrimp will be pink and opaque and start to curl when done.
