Whipped this up on a whim with some frozen shrimp and left over wine. It was absolutely delicious so I had to post it! Goes great over spinach or a rice pilaf and a nice piece of crispy bread to sop up the juice!

How To Make spicy shrimp in a white wine, lemon & butter sauce

  • 1
    If using frozen shrimp defrost in a bowl of tepid water. Then rinse off and pat dry.

    In a large saucepan melt 3 tablespoons of the butter or margarine over medium heat. While that is melting toss the shrimp with all the dry ingredients.

    Once butter is completely melted and turning a light golden color add the shrimp. Cook on one side until nice and brown and crispy. Turn over and add lemon juice. Cook until opaque, one-two more minutes.
