Ingredients
- 1 lb of jumbo shrimp already peeled and deveined
- ½ tsp of quality Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp of fresh-cracked black pepper
- 2 tsp of Old Bay Seasoning separated into two 1-teaspoon portions
- 1 tbsp of premium olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves finely minced
- 1½ cups of your preferred white wine
- Juice from one fresh lemon
- ½ cup of room-temperature unsalted butter
- Freshly chopped parsley leaves for garnish
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Seasoning the Shrimp: Generously sprinkle Kosher salt, fresh black pepper, and a teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning on both sides of the shrimp.
- Heat Up the Pan: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and pour in the olive oil.
- Cook the Shrimp: Carefully place the shrimp into the hot skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set them aside on a separate plate.
- Garlic Flavor Boost: Add your finely minced garlic to the skillet, stirring for about a minute until it's aromatic but not burnt.
- Deglazing the Skillet: Pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Use a wooden or silicone spoon to lift any flavorful bits that may be stuck to the pan. Let the mixture come to a boil, then lower the heat and allow it to simmer for approximately 5 minutes.
- Finishing the Sauce: Incorporate the unsalted butter and the remaining teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning into the simmering sauce, stirring until the butter is fully melted.
- The Final Touch: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and mix them into the sauce. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Before serving, garnish with chopped parsley and a generous sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
