Category: Fish and Seafood

12 jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup shredded basil

Preheat oven to 350. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet until hot but not smoking and saute shrimp 1 minute per side. Transfer to a baking dish and bake in middle of oven until just cooked through, about 7 minutes.

While shrimp bakes, add garlic to skillet and cook, stirring 15 seconds, then stir in wine, juice and tomatoes. Boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by 2/3rds. Swirl in butter and basil over low heat and season with salt and pepper. Serve shrimp with sauce. Serves 4
