Grilled Shrimp in a "Buttery" White Wine Sauce..

Now I am sure some of you are saying WHAT! How can that be healthy? Well after much experimentation I have created a healthier version of that fatty yet delicious meal.  Now I am a sucker for a savory creamy white wine sauce but I know it isn't a fan of my waistline.  By tweaking a few ingredients I have created a distinctively tempting alternative. And because I do not like "diet" tasting foods or lame recreations, I also tasted it against a regular butter white wine recipe.

This recipe is for at least two.  When cooking a single meal just for myself I simply cut the recipe in half.

You Need:

Sauce Pan

Frying Pan

Ingredients:

20-24 peeled shrimp

White Wine (dry) I use Chardonnay

Brummel & Brown

Garlic

Thyme

Basil

Rosemary

Salt & Pepper

1. To start put 3 Tablespoons of Brummel & Brown in a sauce pan over medium heat.  
2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and saute
3. Add 1 Cup of White Wine  

• About a 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• About a 1/2 teaspoon Basil
• About a 1/4 teaspoon Rosemary
• A pinch of Salt and Pepper

       And Bring to a boil. Then let simmer for a few minutes.

At this point you can do one of to things

1. You can saute your shrimp in the sauce as is or

2. You can thicken the sauce

I like to add a little cornstarch to thicken the sauce up a bit before I add the shrimp.  

To do this add:

• 1Tablespoon of cornstartch &
• 1 Tablespoon of cold water in a small  bowl or cup and mix it together
• Bring the sauce back up to a boil and slowly mix in the cornstarch solution

     4.  Add your peeled shrimp to a frying pan over medium heat

5.  Pour the sauce over the shrimp and saute until cooked 

(nice and pink)

 

Now again you can do one of two things:

1. Top off a salad with these deliciously flavored shrimp

2. Pour the sauce and shrimp over whole wheat pasta

 Either way... Yum!!
