Ingredients
-
1 lb White’s P&D Shrimp (26/30 count), thawed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, finely chopped (optional)
- ¼ cup dry white wine (or chicken stock)
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges and fresh herbs (optional, for serving)
Directions
Prep the Shrimp: Pat your shrimp dry using paper towels. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1–2 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Cook the Shrimp: Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes per side until pink and just opaque. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Make the Sauce: Pour in the wine or stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 1–2 minutes, then stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and lemon juice.
Combine & Serve: Return the shrimp to the skillet, toss in the sauce, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite side.
