MISE EN PLACE

INGREDIENTS:

Shrimp:

• 1 pound shrimp (I use extra large or jumbo)

• 1/3 cup olive oil

Sauce:

• 1 egg yolk (I use extra large eggs)
• 1 1/2 TBSP lemon juice
• 1 TBSP chopped parsley
• 1 TBSP chopped chives
• 1 stick butter
• 2 cloves garlic

DIRECTIONS:

Shrimp:

1. Clean and de-vein shrimp and soak in half and half for 10 minutes.
2. Drain and dredge in flour to coat
3. Saute in oil over medium for 5 minutes. Do not turn shrimp.
4. Remove shrimp and place on baking pan.
5. Broil 4-5 inches from the heat for 5 minutes.

1. Beat egg yolk with a wire whisk in a small saucepan.
2. Add 1 1/2 TBSP lemon juice and 1/2 stick butter. Stir constantly until butter is melted.
3. Add remaining butter (1/2 stick), 1 TBSP parsley, 1 TBSP chives and 2 cloves minced garlic.
4. Stir until butter is melted.
5. Pour over cooked shrimp and serve immediately. (I make extra sauce so that there is plenty to also pour over the pasta.)
