How to Make Sherry Buttered Shrimp

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup of finely chopped shallots. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil, and a pinch of black pepper to the skillet.
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup of dry sherry (like fino or amontillado).
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Serve immediately over cooked rice. Garnish with extra basil, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
