Photo: Shrimp with Green Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 18 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact
- Warm baguette slices, for serving
Directions
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until it softens slightly, about 1 minute. Add the brandy and swirl the pan until the alcohol evaporates. Add the wine and 1/4 cup water and cook to reduce slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to a blender with 2 tablespoons olive oil and puree until smooth. Cover and set aside.
When ready to serve, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp; cook until just pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the green sauce, season with salt and pepper, and warm through. Drizzle with olive oil or water to loosen the sauce. Serve with bread.

Super yummy. Since I had all the ingredients in the house, I decided to whip up this shrimp recipe. Very easy. The first time I made this recipe it was rocking! The second time, I tried to add a lot more shrimp and I didn't put the sauce in the food processor. Bland, bland. Next time (and there will be a next time, I'll stick to the instructions.

I am wondering if I did something wrong. When I made it I found the sauce watery and the colour of the parsley died once I put it in the hot pan, which you are supposed to do. I think it would have worked better as a raw sauce, cooking it killed the garlic flavour I was looking forward to indulging in.

This recipe may have the highest ratio of easiness to deliciousness ratio I've ever made meaning for something so rediculously easy to make, it was knock your socks off good eatin'! The only suggestion I would make is to double it up -especially if you're hungry!
