Make this classic Italian recipe at home for a fraction of the fat. It’s fantastic, especially when served with bread or pasta to soak up the garlic-butter sauce.

Ingredients

Olive oil

1½ tsp(s)

Garlic

2 clove(s), large

Shallots

1½ tbsp(s)

White wine

2 fl oz

Fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp(s)

Fresh parsley

2 tsp(s)

Fresh tarragon

1 tsp(s)

Fresh thyme

1 tsp(s)

Table salt

¼ tsp(s)

Black pepper

¼ pinch(es)

Salted butter

2 tbsp(s)

Uncooked shrimp

20 oz

Instructions

1

Warm a large skillet over a medium-low heat; add oil and heat until shimmering. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add shallots and sauté for 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of wine and 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice; stir, scrapping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are translucent, about 5 more minutes; allow to cool.

2

In a small bowl, combine shallots, parsley, tarragon, thyme, salt and pepper with softened butter; refrigerate until butter hardens (can be made 1 day ahead).

3

Preheat oven to 475°F.

4

Using a medium-sized oven-proof casserole dish or skillet, arrange shrimp in a ring, tails up and touching one another for support; place bits of chilled herbed butter around shrimp. Pour remaining wine and lemon juice in bottom of dish. (Or cook in four individual oven-proof dishes as pictured above.)

5

Roast in oven until shrimp turns pink and butter starts to sizzle, about 4 to 5 minutes. Yields about 3 jumbo shrimp per serving.
