Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp
  • 1 pound uncooked peeled shrimp Substitute with langostino for a more authentic taste.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Vegetable oil can be a good alternative.
For the Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter Ghee can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup white cooking wine Dry wine is recommended; chicken stock or vegetable broth works for a non-alcoholic version.
  • 4 cloves minced garlic Freshly minced is preferred for potency.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Can be substituted with white vinegar.
For Seasoning and Garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can be used.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Nutritional yeast can be used as a vegan alternative.

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add 1 pound of uncooked peeled shrimp. Sauté the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the same skillet. Allow the butter to melt completely, swirling gently for about 1 minute until bubbling. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, around 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in ½ cup of white cooking wine and the juice of one lemon. Stir, scraping any bits from the bottom for about 2-3 minutes. Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce by half.
  4. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, then return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together for about 1-2 minutes to ensure shrimp are coated in the sauce.
  5. Remove from heat. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving. Serve with crusty bread or over linguine.
