Tender shrimp in a glossy white wine and garlic butter sauce make this quick dinner feel far fancier than the effort involved.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Aglio Napoletano
  • 10 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined (roughly 15-20 shrimp)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Garnish: lemon wedge, fresh parsley or chives

Directions

  1. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 1-2 min per side, until just opaque.

  3. Sprinkle in Aglio Napoletano and pour in wine. Let simmer until reduced by half.

  4. Lower heat and whisk in butter a few pieces at a time until the sauce is smooth and glossy.

  5. Serve immediately, spooning sauce over shrimp and finishing with fresh herbs, with rice or pasta to soak up the sauce.
