SHRIMP PICCATA

Piccata is synonymous with lemony flavors, so whether it's fish or shrimp, the citrusy taste profile is great. 

GET:

  • 1 lb          frozen or fresh peeled large shrimp
  • 2 tbsp     all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup    dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp     lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp      drained capers
  • 1/4 tsp     salt
  • 1/8 tsp     pepper
  • 1 tbsp      butter
  • 2 each     garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups     cooked rice

MAKE:

  1. Rinse shrimp, pat dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with flour until coated. Set aside.
  2. For sauce, in a small bowl, stir together wine, lemon juice, capers, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Place butter in a large skillet. Preheat pan over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Stir fry garlic for 15 seconds. Add half of the shrimp to pan.
