Garlic Butter Shrimp

Looking to add an upscale flair to your dinner plate? This simple recipe can be utilized in so many different ways to add the extra touch of elegance! 

What You Will Need: Shrimp, unsalted butter, parsley, garlic, white wine, olive oil, salt/pepper & some half/half or heavy cream (not pictured...my apologizes)

**Tip; when it comes to shrimp, have everything chopped and ready to go. This dish cooks in just a few minuets & you don't want to over cook them.


In a large skillet, heat olive oil and place in the shrimp. I took the tails off before I cooked them but feel free to leave them on if you like.


After they sauté for 2-3 minutes, add in a splash of the white wine. 
Always make sure you cook with a wine that you would enjoy drinking. 

**Side Note** I'm a red wine drinker & I just have to say that this brand Josh Cellars, makes a Cabernet that is fabulous!! Its also called 'Josh' which ironically is the name of my husband!! I guess I'm a lover of all things Josh!!


Give the wine about a minute to reduce, then add in your minced garlic. Stir.


Couple of tablespoons of butter go in next.


Finish with a big splash of the half/half & chopped parsley. Salt/pepper to taste



Helllloooo Surf & Turf!!


Of course the shrimp was an excellent addition to our filets but this recipe can be used in so many other ways.

Add in some more half/half & a little chicken stock to bulk up your sauce, then toss with your choice of pasta noodles.

Bulk up your sauce, toast up a couple hunks of crusty bread & allow the shrimp to be the star on their own.

Or simply serve over a bed of wild rice.

Enjoy & Always Cook with Love!
