This shrimp's gentle preparation yields an utterly soothing broth that tastes just right first thing in the morning. Grab some grits or a warm biscuit to help sop up the juices. Ingredients:
3/4 stick unsalted butter |
2 medium onions, finely chopped |
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallion |
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
2 pound medium or large shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1/2 to 1 cup water |
Directions:
1. Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until foaming, then cook onions with scallion, garlic, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup water and simmer gently, stirring, until shrimp are just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes (shrimp should be saucy; add more water if necessary). Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
