Instructions
href="https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_peel_and_devein_shrimp/">Peel and de-vein the shrimp. Work with the shrimp one at a time, leaving the rest in a bowl of ice water. Holding on to the body of the shrimp, use your fingers to pull off head if it is still attached, and then the legs.
Starting with the head end, gently peel back the shell. Use your fingernails or a knife to cut into the base shell segment.
Remove the shrimp from its shell entirely.
Place shrimp down flat on a cutting board and use a small sharp knife to make a shallow cut down the back of the shrimp.
You may see a dark, vein-like intestinal tract running through the meat. Use your fingers, or the sharp tip of a knife to remove. As you complete each shrimp, put into a bowl of ice water to keep cool. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.
Make orange syrup: Zest half of one orange (about 2 teaspoons) and juice the two oranges (about 3/4 cup).
Put the juice, zest, wine and shallots in a sauce pan on medium high heat. Cook until it is syrupy and almost gone.
Whisk in the butter: On low heat, whisk in the butter continuously and vigorously, 1 tablespoon at a time. Butter is the only emulsifier for this sauce, and if you slowly add it, continuously stirring, the sauce will achieve a silky smooth texture. Do not let the sauce boil. Salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm while you continue with the shrimp.
Heat a skillet on medium high heat.
Drain the shrimp and coat with olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the shrimp and sprinkle on some salt and pepper.
Cook the shrimp about 45 seconds on each side.
Add some more olive oil if necessary to keep the shrimp from sticking to the pan. Do not overcook or the shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
Drizzle Beurre Blanc sauce over shrimp, or serve in a separate small container for dipping.
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 Mark West Pinot Grigio with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
