Notes

Serving suggestions: Try over pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, cauliflower rice, or Palmini pasta.
How to peel and devein shrimp: To peel a shrimp, start underneath (where the legs are). You can leave the tail on for looks or remove it, up to you. To devein, make a shallow slice in the shrimp over the black vein. Remove the vein gently with your knife and discard.
White wine substitution: Use extra lemon juice or chicken stock.
