Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pound Shrimp large uncooked, shelled, deveined
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic peeled, minced
  • 4 tablespoons Vermouth white
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley fresh, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • Salt
  • Ground Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Juice and zest the lemon; set aside.
  • Mince the garlic and parsley; set aside separately.
  • Rinse shrimp; pat shrimp dry; set aside.
  • Heat a large frying pan. Add butter and oil.
  • Zap a heat-proof bowl in the microwave to warm it somewhat; set aside
  • When the oil and butter is hot (don't let the butter brown) , add the shrimp, let cook without stirring for 1 minute. Add the garlic, again without stirring, and let cook for another minute. Then stir to turn the shrimp over, and let cook for 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the shrimp to the warmed bowl and cover. Put the frying pan back on the heat, let heat up for a minute, then add the vermouth and lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds to make a sauce. Scrape the pan to deglaze the flavour bits into the sauce, then stir in the zest and parsley.
  • Pour all this sauce over the shrimp in a bowl, and season as desired with salt and pepper (freshly ground if you have it, otherwise don't sweat it.)
  • Send to the table.

Notes

Use large shrimp (aka "prawns").
 
Best done in a frying pan which isn't non-stick.
