How to Make Balsamic Sauteed Shrimp
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Season 1 pound of shrimp with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add shrimp to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
- Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside on a plate, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Pour off any excess liquid from the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and swirl until lightly browned.
- Add 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar to the pan and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the balsamic vinegar for 2-3 minutes, or until it slightly thickens and becomes glossy.
- Return the shrimp to the pan and toss gently to coat in the balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped herbs (such as parsley, chives, or thyme).
- Serve immediately with a lemon wedge for squeezing.
