Excellent as a first course, or as a main dish served over rice or pasta.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 t. kosher salt (a little less if using fine salt)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ t. dried red pepper flakes
- ½ t. black pepper
- 1 stick butter
- ⅓ cup white wine
- Juice of half a lemon (no seeds)
- 2 t. Dijon mustard
- 1 T. chopped parsley
- grated parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°
- Put shrimp in a bowl and add the salt, pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Toss to distribute the seasoning evenly and set aside.
- In an oven-proof skillet melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted, whisk in the wine, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and parsley. Continue to cook for a minute or two. Off the heat add the shrimp and toss to coat all of the shrimp with the sauce.
