Marinated Shrimp With Champagne Beurre Blanc Recipes

MARINATED SHRIMP WITH CHAMPAGNE BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• For Sauce Base:
• Combine Champagne, shallots, vinegar, and peppercorns in heavy medium saucepan.
• Boil until reduced to 1/4 cup liquid, about 20 minutes.
• (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
• For Shrimp:
• Combine Champagne, olive oil, shallots, and ground pepper in resealable plastic bag.
• Add shrimp to bag and seal; shake bag to coat shrimp evenly.
• Marinate shrimp at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour, turning bag occasionally.
• Mix chives, tarragon, and parsley in small bowl.
• Preheat broiler.
• Spray broiler pan with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Drain shrimp; discard plastic bag with marinade.
• Arrange shrimp on prepared pan in single layer.
• Broil shrimp until just opaque in center, about 2 minutes per side.
• Stand 3 shrimp, tails upright, in center of each plate.
• Rewarm sauce base over medium-low heat. Whisk in butter 1 piece at a time, just allowing each to melt before adding next (do not boil or sauce will separate).
• Season beurre blanc to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon warm sauce around shrimp.
• Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve.
• Market tip: Champagne and sparkling wines labeled extra dry are actually slightly sweeter than those labeled brut. The latter works best for this dish.
