Shrimp Scampi

Recipe Created by : Robbie
Prep. Time : 0:25
Serves : 2 - 4

8 cloves garlic - minced
1 tsp. minced fresh parsley OR 1/2 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup real butter
1 tsp. salt
1 lb. raw shrimp - peeled, deveined
paprika OR cayenne pepper - to top

-In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, simmer garlic and parsley in wine until reduced by half; add butter and salt to pan and stir until melted; remove from heat.
-Place shrimp in a shallow oven-proof dish with tails pointing upward; pour butter mixture over shrimp; sprinkle shrimp with paprika/cayenne.
-Bake shrimp in a 350 degree oven for 6 - 7 minutes, or until the shrimp have turned pink. Do not overcook.

NOTES : I like to divide the shrimp into serving-size dishes before baking, then place each dish directly on the serving plate. Everyone likes to hear the sound of their meal sizzling, straight out of the oven.
