🧂 Ingredients

1 Wash shrimp under cold water and then peel the shells and discard. De-vein the
shrimp with a paring knife and then wash under water again making sure they're
all clean. Repeat until all shrimp are done. Place shrimp on a sheet tray or
large platter lined with paper towels to absorb any excess water.
2 Use a 12" round pan, on high heat get the pan nice and HOT.

Then add 2TB of oil into the pan and add shrimps making sure not to overcrowd
the pan. You should hear a sizzling sound once you add the shrimps. Sear the
shrimps on both sides just until they turn pink.
3 Once you turn the shrimps to another side, sear for another 30 seconds or so and
add 4TB of white wine, 1/2cup of Heavy cream, and 6TB of bbq butter.
4 Incorporate the butter into the sauce and reduce just a little bit until the
sauce bubbles and thickens a bit. (about 2-3 min) Take off the heat right away
making sure not to overcook the sauce because it will separate if overcooked.
5 Garnish with green onions and serve with crusty bread immediately.
