Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds (680g) extra jumbo or colossal U15 or larger, cleaned and deveined
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes optional
- 3/4 cup (180ml) dry white wine
- 1/4 cup minced flat-leaf Italian parsley
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (23ml) fresh lemon juice or to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by mixing the shrimp with the baking soda and kosher salt in a bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the olive oil and butter to the pan. Once butter melts add the garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Add the white wine and crushed red pepper to the pan and turn heat to high.
- Once the wine reduces by half (about 3-5 minutes) add the shrimp in and turn the heat back down to medium.
- Cook the shrimp until they turn light pink and firm, making sure to flip them to achieve even cooking. Depending on the size of shrimp this will take anywhere from 3-5 minutes.
- Once the shrimp are fully cooked through turn off the heat and add the parsley and the lemon juice.
- Taste test the sauce and make any final adjustments to salt, pepper, and lemon juice if required. Serve with crusty Italian bread. Enjoy!
Notes
- The shrimp should not be rinsed after the brine.
- Serve with crusty Italian bread. For pasta add 50 percent more wine and butter. Also use a bit more pasta water to make a sauce that won't dry out.
- Leftovers can be reheated gently on the stovetop until warmed through.
