PROSECCO BUTTER POACHED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Transfer the thawed shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate. Use paper towel to pat the shrimp as dry as possible. Set aside.
• Add the Prosecco to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the Prosecco to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced roughly by half, about 12-15 minutes.
• Reduce the heat under the Prosecco to medium-low, just enough for the Prosecco to maintain a gentle simmer. Whisking constantly, add a few tablespoons of the butter to the saucepan with the Prosecco. Once melted, continue to add butter to the saucepan, working a few tablespoons at a time. Be sure to whisk steadily throughout this process to help the butter emulsify with the reduced Prosecco & adjust heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. Once all of the butter is incorporated, add in the aromatics - lemon juice, sliced lemon, crushed garlic, dried parsley, etc. Season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt & ground black pepper as desired. Simmer 2-3 minutes, whisking steadily, to bloom the aromatics. Taste & adjust seasoning as desired.
• Working in batches of 5-6 shrimp at a time, add the shrimp to the saucepan. All of the shrimp should be submerged in the Prosecco butter poaching liquid. Adjust heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook 2-3 minutes, just until the shrimp is bright pink with opaque flesh. Transfer the poached shrimp to a large plate or bowl & set aside. Repeat 2-3 times with remaining shrimp.
• Once all the shrimp are poached & cool enough to handle, peel them & serve immediately.
