Ingredients

  • 1 Tbs. olive or canola oil
  • 1 1/2 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbs. minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tsp. minced fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp. minced fresh basil
  • 3 Tbs. dry white wine
  • 2 Tbs. unsalted butter
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • <b>Cook the shrimp</b>
  • In a fry pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, just until opaque throughout, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • <b>Make the sauce</b>
  • Return the pan to medium heat. Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and basil and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the wine and stir, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. When the wine has nearly evaporated, remove the pan from the heat and add the butter and a pinch of pepper. Stir until the butter melts, then return the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Serves 4.
