Serving Size: 6-8

Ingredients 2 teaspoons butter 2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup olive oil 1 3/4 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and cleaned 1/4 cup white wine 2 lemons

Directions

In a medium-sized pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the butter and whisk until it begins to subside after bubbling. Add the minced garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. You should start to see the shrimp change color and start to shrink. Add the wine and lemon juice and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently to make sure all the juices get through to the shrimp. Serve the shrimp on a platter, and make sure to pour the sauce from the pan over the shrimp. Sprinkle the cilantro and serve.
