Calories 340kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds shrimp (peeled and de-veined, 20 oz/ 567 g)
  • 4 tablespoons butter (peeled and de-veined, 20 oz/ 567 g)
  • 3 cloves garlic (peeled and de-veined, 20 oz/ 567 g)
  • 1/4 cup chardonnay (peeled and de-veined, 20 oz/ 567 g)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (peeled and de-veined, 20 oz/ 567 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley (peeled and de-veined, 20 oz/ 567 g)
  • 2 scallions (sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (peeled and de-veined, 20 oz/ 567 g)
  • black pepper
  • 10 ounces cherry tomatoes (peeled and de-veined, 20 oz/ 567 g)

Instructions

  • Prep: Peel and de-vein the shrimp.
  • This can be done the day before, but because shrimp is highly perishable make sure to cook the shrimp by the next day! Juice the lemon.
  • Chop the garlic and parsley and slice the scallions.
  • Cook: Place a large saute pan (I used non-stick) over medium heat.
  • When hot, add the butter, tilting the pan to melt the butter and coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the garlic and saute until it begins to soften.
  • Add the shrimp to the pan and cook until the bottom half of the shrimp turns pink.
  • Turn each shrimp over with a pair of tongs and add the red pepper flakes.
  • When the shrimp looks almost cooked through, add the lemon juice and then the wine.
  • Cook for just a minute to let the liquid reduce.
  • Turn off the heat and add the parsley and scallion, stirring to mix thoroughly.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Plate and top with Parmesan cheese if desired.
