Notes
- Go for 20-25 or 26-30 count. That should give you a good serving per person. I usually buy frozen raw shrimp! They are so handy to have in the deep freeze. But you can use fresh shelled and deveined shrimp. If you use frozen shrimp, ensure it is fully defrosted before cooking.
- You need the zest and juice of a lemon, so go for fresh. Remember to zest the lemon before you juice it, as it is almost impossible to zest a squeezed lemon.
- Anything dry white wine that you like to drink is perfect here. If you don't consume alcohol, replace it with broth and an extra ½ teaspoon of lemon juice.
- I use shrimp stock whenever I have it available. But you can use fish, vegetable or even chicken if that is all you have on hand.
- Any white beans work here.
