Shrimp Limoncello

I love cooking with spirits and seafood and this recipe combines the both. I use fresh herbs so if using dried herbs I would cut the amounts in half to your taste.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4-6

2. Heat the pan to medium-high. Cook until the mixture becomes aromatic, (less than a minute).
3. Add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp become pink, 3-4 minutes, tossing to blend the shrimp and herb mixture.
4. Remove shrimp and set aside.
5. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and return to the stovetop.
