Preparation

Spread salt in 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
Arrange shrimp in single layer atop salt.

Preheat oven to 500°F. Boil wine,
lemon juice, and garlic in saucepan over
medium-high heat until liquid is reduced
to 1 tablespoon, about 10 minutes. Remove

whisk until creamy. Return pan to low
heat. Add a few more pieces of butter;
whisk until smooth (do not let mixture boil).
Continue whisking in butter, a few pieces
at a time. Stir in parsley; season with salt
and pepper. Let stand while shrimp cook.

Roast shrimp on salt until just opaque
in center and shells are pink, 6 to 7 minutes.

Transfer sauce to bowl; nestle in salt.
