Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
24 large shrimp in shell (21 to 25 per lb), peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 large clove garlic, pressed
½ cup Chardonnay wine
1 cup chicken broth, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup grated Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Place the flour on a rimmed plate, and season with salt and pepper. Toss the shrimp in the flour, and shake off excess. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the shrimp until pink, about 2 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from skillet, and reserve.
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon oil from the skillet. Cook the shallots and garlic in the oil until soft, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine, 1/2 cup chicken broth, and the lemon juice. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth and the cream, and simmer until sauce is reduced and thickened slightly, approximately 10 minutes more. Add the butter, and stir until melted.
  • Return the shrimp to the skillet; simmer until heated through, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and Romano cheese before serving.
