By Rachel-2

Ingredients

• 1 T olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 c dry white wine
• 1/4 c bottled clam juice
• salt and pepper
• 2 lbs extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 T cold unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
• 2 T fresh lemon juice
• 2 T fresh parsley, chopped
• lemon wedges

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the wine, clam juice, 1/4 t salt, and 1/8 t pepper, bring to a boil. Add the shrimp, cover and cook until the shrimp are slightly translucent, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, stir, re-cover and cook until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 2 minutes more.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a medium bowl. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Whisk the butter, 1 piece at a time, into the sauce; stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste and pour the mixture over the shrimp in a serving bowl. Serve with the lemon wedges.
