Sauce:

• ½ cup dry white wine, see notes
• 4 cloves garlic, minced

➔ 𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨:

Prepare the Shrimp:

Measure out ingredients before beginning. Thaw the shrimp completely and pat the surface dry.

You may also need to remove the shell, tail, and veins.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 1 minute + 20 seconds per side. (Use a timer to avoid overcooking).

Tilt the pan to transfer the shrimp onto a clean plate. Note that they’ll cook a little bit more as they sit, and again when added back to the sauce.

Make the Sauce :

Add the wine and garlic to the same skillet over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle bubble and let it reduce for 3-4 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half.

Add the chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and mustard powder. Bring to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 6-7 minutes or so to thicken and concentrate the flavor. Reduce heat to low.

Stir in the heavy cream, then stir in the Parmesan cheese until incorporated.

Add the shrimp back to the skillet and let it heat through for 30 seconds.

Add cold butter and tilt the pan to swirl the butter throughout the sauce until melted.

Remove from heat and add the lemon juice.

Garnish with parsley and serve! (See notes for pairing suggestions.)
