Shrimp Scampi Grotto

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, season the jumbo shrimp with salt and black pepper. Dredge each shrimp in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Beurre Blanc Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced by half.

  3. 3

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of unsalted butter until fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the cooked shrimp and drizzle with the beurre blanc sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
