Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails on
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 8 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons white wine
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Cooked white rice for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. In a heavy medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Season the shrimp generously with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes until nearly done. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
2. In the same skillet, saut the onion and garlic until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 6 minutes. Pour in the white wine, scraping up the browned bits from the pan bottom. Allow to boil for 1 minute to reduce slightly.
3. Stir in the lime juice and parsley. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss gently in the sauce. Cook for 1 more minute until the shrimp are fully cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
4. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy on its own or served over white rice.
