Equipment

  • pan
  • skillet

Ingredients

  • ¼ Cup Crisp Chardonnay White Wine
  • 2 Finely Minced Aged Garlic Cloves
  • ½ Pound Wild-caught Gulf Shrimp
  • Tsp Freshly Ground Tellicherry Black Pepper
  • ¼ Tsp Pink Himalayan Salt Flakes
  • ¼ Cup Handpicked Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley

Instructions

Prepare Shrimp

  • Thoroughly clean and devein the wild-caught Gulf Shrimp. Pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Melt Butter and Sauté Garlic

  • In a skillet or sauté pan over medium heat, melt the European-Style Cultured Butter (1 ½ Tbsp).
  • Add the finely minced aged Garlic Cloves (2) to the melted butter. Sauté the garlic until fragrant and slightly golden, taking care not to burn it.

Add Shrimp to the Pan

  • Increase the heat to medium-high. Carefully place the prepared Gulf Shrimp (½ Pound) into the skillet.
  • Sauté the shrimp in the butter and garlic mixture for approximately 1-2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.

Deglaze with White Wine

  • Once the shrimp are cooked, pour the Crisp Chardonnay White Wine (¼ Cup) into the skillet to deglaze it. Gently scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate any flavorful bits.
  • Sprinkle the Pink Himalayan Salt Flakes (¼ Tsp) and Freshly Ground Tellicherry Black Pepper (⅛ Tsp) evenly over the shrimp in the skillet. Stir gently to coat the shrimp with the seasoning.
  • Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the Handpicked Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley (¼ Cup), finely chopped, over the cooked shrimp. Toss gently to combine and evenly distribute the parsley.
  • Transfer the flavorful Alton Brown Shrimp to a serving platter or individual plates.
  • Optionally, you can drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the shrimp for added flavor.
  • Indulge in the delightful flavors of this dish with succulent shrimp, aromatic garlic, and a hint of wine, enhanced by the freshness of parsley.
