Finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and served alongside crusty French bread, this quick and easy 30-minute recipe transforms simple ingredients into a restaurant-worthy meal. Perfect for seafood lovers, this dish is ideal for a special dinner or indulgent appetizer. Don’t forget the bread—it’s essential for sopping up every last drop of the velvety sauce!
Thoroughly rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.
Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let it brown.
Pour in the white wine, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the cayenne pepper, paprika, oregano, black pepper, and kosher salt. Stir the spices into the sauce to create a flavorful base.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring each piece has contact with the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until the shrimp turn pink and begin to curl.
Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery.
Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and the sauce becomes rich and velvety.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp for a fresh pop of flavor and color.
Serve the Shrimp Manale Style immediately with a warm loaf of baguette or French bread to soak up the buttery sauce. Enjoy!
