Madeline's Chardonnay Shrimp

Slatts's Note:

This is another recipe from my mother in law. I do love a recipe that has wine as an ingredient. You just have to have a glass after you open the bottle right? It's like that saying "I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in my food."

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Chardonnay wine
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 1/2 lbs large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add garlic and cook for one minute.
3. Stir in wine, worcestershire sauce, and seasonings and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce to simmer and add the shrimp. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until shrimp becomes pink and tender.
5. Serve shrimp in wide shallow bowls with cooking juices. A crusty bread goes nicely to soak up the yummy juices.

Delicious! I used a dry white Spanish wine. In a pinch, I would think any dry white wine will do the trick.I served over angel hair pasta, just perfect. Just be sure to let the dauce reduce down some. Thanks a bunch Slatts and thanks Madeline!

If you don't love garlic, don't make this one....if you do love garlic, then this is your lucky day...I made this for my husband who is a shrimp lover and he really enjoyed it. I tasted the sauce and was impressed..... absolutely delicious. Served over angel hair.
