Garlic Shrimp in Sherry Butter

about 4 servings

1 pound butter
3 bunches scallions, chopped
12 medium garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped parsley
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups dry sherry
1 1/2 pounds medium to large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 sweet red bell peppers cut in thin sticks, if desired
Chopped parsley, for garnish
    Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add the scallions and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Add parsley, salt, pepper and sherry; simmer 2 minutes and set aside. 

    Pour a small amount of the butter mixture from saucepan into a medium skillet. Sauté the shrimp in batches, adding more butter mixture as needed. Arrange the sautéed shrimp on a serving platter. Sauté the red peppers in the pan; add the rest of the butter mixture and pour over the shrimp. Garnish with parsley.

    Notes: Serve over white rice if desired but great without - allows everyone to 'mop-up' the butter sauce with the bread.
    Leave tail on shrimp for 'handles' if desired.

    4. Great! I have some shrimps in my stock! We have a Pinoy version called "Nilasing na Hipon" or "Drunken Shrimps". Sherry is another great addition... U
