Shrimp Scampi #4

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 2 lbs, uncooked, peeled large shrimp
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 Tbsp white wine or lemon juice (I used some chardonnay I had in the refrigerator)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced (I used flat-leaf parsley)
• 1 Tbsp garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• Pepper to taste
• Optional: lemon wedges (I wedged 1 lemon and broiled it with the shrimp and that was wonderful)

Preparation

Step 1

Place shrimp in a large bowl; set aside. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine remaining ingredients except lemon wedges. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until well-blended. Pour most of the butter mixture over shrimp; toss to coast well. Arrange shrimp on a 15x10-inch jelly-roll pan in a single layer. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat for about 5 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a serving platter; drizzle with remaining butter mixture. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired. Serves 6.
