Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Shallots (finely minced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.333 cup Dry sherry
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Strip the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and finely chop them. Discard the woody stems.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and the chopped rosemary. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Pour in the sherry, stirring to deglaze the skillet and incorporate the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sherry simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the unsalted butter and stir until melted, creating a silky sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the shrimp immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or pasta to soak up the flavorful sauce.
