How to Make Shrimp Monterey

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add 1 pound of shrimp to the skillet.
  3. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, stirring occasionally.
  4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked shrimp to a greased 11x7x2-inch baking dish. Set aside and keep warm.
  5. Pour 1/2 cup of dry white wine (or chicken broth) into the skillet.
  6. Bring the liquid to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  8. Pour the sauce over the shrimp in the baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley over the shrimp and sauce.
  10. Bake, uncovered, at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
