Instructions
Melt all but 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat without boiling, about 4 minutes, and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a medium skillet. Cook the garlic, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add the shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, until starting to turn pink, about 2 minutes.
Pour in the wine and cook, stirring, until the liquid is nearly completely evaporated, about 3 minutes.
Pour in the lemon juice and cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the salt and clarified butter and remove from the heat.
Spoon the shrimp into a small baking dish. Stir in the parsley and pour the melted butter from the skillet over the shrimp just to cover. Reserve any remaining butter in the refrigerator. Chill the shrimp until the butter is solid, 2 hours.
Pulse the shrimp mixture in a food processor until pureed. Return the mixture to the baking dish. Warm the refrigerated reserved butter in the microwave just until liquefied, about 10 seconds.
Pour over the shrimp to cover and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.
Remove the dish from the refrigerator 1 hour before serving.
Spread on crackers or toasted baguette slices and garnish with additional parsley.
Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio
Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. One wine you could try is Peju Winery Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 22 dollars.
Peju Winery Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
This Sauvignon Blanc jumps out of the glass—pineapple, passion fruit, grapefruit and lychee are all very prominent on the nose. The palate offers more lush fruit and bright acidity with notes of creamy lemon tart, guava and apricot with a fresh, clean finish.
