Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter with garlic in a skillet over medium heat.

Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp rather than frozen; however, if using frozen, make sure to thaw them completely. You can substitute the white wine with chicken broth for a non-alcoholic option, or try a splash of lemon juice for brightness. If you prefer more heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish over a bed of pasta or rice to soak up the delicious wine sauce. Complement the meal with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a refreshing side. It pairs beautifully with Saucy Barbecue Shrimp for a seafood-themed dinner. A chilled white wine would also enhance the flavors beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, it’s best to do so gently on the stovetop over low heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp. You can also add a splash of water or extra wine to help keep them moist while reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Just make sure to thaw them completely before cooking to ensure even cooking. This can be done overnight in the refrigerator or quickly by placing them in a bowl of cold water for about 15-20 minutes.
What type of white wine should I use?
A dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works best for this recipe. Avoid sweet wines, as they can alter the flavor of the sauce. The wine should be something you enjoy drinking, as this will enhance the overall taste of the dish.
Can I add vegetables to this recipe?
Absolutely! You can sauté bell peppers, spinach, or cherry tomatoes along with the garlic for added color and nutrition. Just add them to the skillet before the white wine to allow them to soften slightly before adding the shrimp.
