How to Make Shrimp In Ginger Butter Sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once the foam subsides, add 1 tablespoon of minced ginger and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds.
- Pat 1 pound of shrimp dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
- Pour in 1/4 cup dry sherry (or white wine) and sauté for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
- Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately over rice or noodles (optional).
