salt and pepper |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
1 cup white wine |

1/4 heavy cream |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped |
Directions:
1. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then dust with flour.
2. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet. Add shrimp and cook over medium heat about 2 minutes per side.
3. Remove shrimp from pan and drain the oil from pan.
4. In the same skillet, warm the wine over low heat. Add shrimp and cook for 1 minute.
5. Add butter, lemon juice, and heavy cream. Cook 1 or two minutes more.
