Happy Shrimp
Ingredients
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the shrimp, garlic, and green onions. Cook and stir until the shrimp are pink on the outside, and no longer translucent in the center, about 5 minutes. Set the shrimp aside, and pour in the wine, cream, tomatoes, basil, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce will coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
Stir the shrimp back into the sauce, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat through and serve.
Been making this for awhile. Great recipe.
Best shrimp I ever had were almost lobster-sized ones in Japan. The chef threw them on the grill and they popped high off the grill. I said to the Japanese gentlemen next to me “Grill must be hot.” The gentlemen next to me answered back “Shrimp alive”
Best meal ever. (Also had Kobe beef that night. Heaven!!!)
