Published Dec 10, 2021 Updated Nov 03, 2024 This simple shrimp recipe also goes well with pasta or rice with its iconic white wine sauce. You may also enjoy this shrimp recipe for a light appetizer, which tastes garlicky and citrusy with a hint of white wine. First, heat a skillet (or nonstick frying pan) over medium-high heat. Saute garlic and onion with melted butter and olive oil until golden brown and fragrant. Add the white wine to the pan and simmer the sauce for 2 minutes. Next, cook the shrimp with the sauce and stir a few times until pink. Lower the heat and keep simmering for another 5 minutes. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir in parsley and lemon juice and serve immediately.
You can use both fresh peeled and deveined shrimp or frozen ones in this recipe. Both of them make a delicious shrimp dish. The quickest way to thaw the frozen shrimp is to soak them in cool water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels. Never overcook the shrimp. A quick saute of the shrimp and then cooking in the white wine sauce, will have a tender and crunchy texture. Wrapping up the shrimp dish with fresh lemon juice is preferred. The bottled lemon juice is not bright and refreshing enough for this dish.
