3 rounds garlic & herb butter spread

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup white wine

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3 tablespoons sliced green onions
Instructions
-
In a large cast-iron skillet, melt the garlic herb butter over medium heat.

Add the chopped chipotle peppers and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Add the shrimp, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are pink and opaque.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Notes
-
For less heat, use just one chipotle pepper or scrape out the seeds before chopping.
-
Don’t overcook the shrimp—remove them as soon as they turn pink and opaque to keep them juicy.
-
This shrimp is delicious served over white rice, jasmine rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
-
A dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works best in this recipe.
