Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed
  • 1 pound shrimp, 31 to 35 large, peeled and deveined
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc

  • Add the shrimp and sauté over medium heat for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until the shrimp looks opaque and cooked through. If the shrimp doesn't fit in 1 layer, you can sauté it in 2 batches.
