  • Prep 20 min
  • Total 1 hr 20 min
  • Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb uncooked fresh extra-large (16 to 20 count) shrimp
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or nonalcoholic wine
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 lemon wedges

Steps

  • 1
    Peel shrimp. Make shallow cut lengthwise down back of each shrimp; wash out vein. Press each shrimp flat into butterfly shape. Place shrimp in small glass or plastic bowl.
  • 2
    In another small bowl, mix remaining ingredients except lemon; pour over shrimp. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour to marinate.
  • 3
    Set oven control to broil. Lightly brush broiler pan rack with oil. Remove shrimp from marinade; reserve marinade. Place shrimp on rack in broiler pan.
  • 4
    Broil shrimp with tops about 4 inches from heat about 5 minutes, turning and brushing once with reserved marinade, until shrimp are pink. Garnish with lemon wedges and, if desired, additional chopped fresh parsley.

  • Canola oil is an excellent oil to use for sautéing, stir-frying and baking. Because it is very high in monounsaturated fat, it can help lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides (fats found in blood).
