Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (finely grated)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until just pink and slightly browned. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the shrimp through.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and thyme over the dish and stir gently to combine. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Shrimp Le Maistre pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, pasta, or steamed rice.
