Lemon, White Wine & Herb Shrimp
Angela LeMoine
4 servings
BeginnerShrimp are fantastic; they cook up so quickly and will take on flavor wonderfully! The sauce here is simply a little olive oil, garlic, white wine, lemon and herbed butter. Are you drooling yet? You should be.
You can make the sauce a bit ahead of time and then when its time for the main course warm the sauce back up, toss in the shrimp and cook for just 6-8 minutes. I have it over whole grain linguini but you can leave out the pasta to lighten up the dish if you’d like. Along side there, some simple broccolini tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper. If you’ve never had broccolini, give it a try, its got a milder taste then broccoli and is more delicate.
