Ingredients
- 1tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼cup peeled and finely minced shallots
- 1clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
- 1cup Champagne
- 1sprig tarragon, plus additional chopped for garnish
- ½cup cream
- Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
- 1½pounds medium shrimp, preferably Mexican white,shelled and deveined
Preparation
- Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the shallots and garlic. Saute, stirring, until the shallots are slightly softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Champagne and tarragon sprig and simmer gently until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Remove the tarragon sprig and add the cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Set aside.
- Step 2
Preheat the broiler and lay the shrimp in a roasting pan large enough to hold them in one layer. Sprinkle them with salt and brush ¼ cup of the Champagne sauce over them with a pastry brush. Broil, turning once, until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Step 3
Gently reheat the remaining sauce over low heat. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates and spoon the sauce over them. Garnish with chopped tarragon and serve immediately.
