By cyosi

Ingredients

• 4 tsp olive oil
• 1 1/4 pounds med raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails left on)
• 6-8 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup + 1 T minced parsley
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 4 lemon wedges

Preparation

Step 1

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Saute the shrimp until just pink, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon transfer the shrimp to a platter and keep them warm.

In the skillet, combine the broth, wine, lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the parsley, the salt and pepper; and bring it to a boil. Boil uncovered, until the sauce is reduced by half.

Spoon the sauce over the shrimp. Serve garnished with the lemon wedges and sprinkled with the remaining tablespoon of parsley.

NOTE: I did add 1 tablespoon of butter to the finished sauce just to thicken slightly and add a touch of richness.
