Instructions

Bring the clam juice and orange juice to a boil over high heat in a 12-inch skillet until the mixture is reduced by half, about 5 min. Meanwhile, peel and devein the shrimp (to save time, look for "easy-peel" shrimp, which has already been deveined). With a spatula, scrape the reduced sauce into a small bowl and set aside. Without rinsing the pan, return it to high heat and add the butter and garlic; cook until the garlic starts to sizzle, about 15 seconds.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc

Shrimp works really well with Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.
