How much white wine? It isn't in the ingredient list. 🙂 This sounds and looks really good!
This looks delicious but I don't see the wine listed in the ingredients. How much wine do you use?
1/4 cup.
HOW MUCH WHITE WINE?
What can be used instead of wine? Thanks. 🙂
Peggy, You can use 1/2 water, 1/2 lemon juice to deglaze the pan rather than the wine.
Can water be used int stead of chicken broth?
Jenna, Yes, vegetable stock, fish stock, or water could be used. If you do use water, add more salt and feel free to add some herbs.
Do you peel and devein the shrimp before cooking? Thanks so much! Can't wait to try!
Colleen, Yes, peeled and deveined with tails on being optional. I have just noted that in the recipe. Thanks for asking:). Do let us know how you like it.
What kind of consistency with the wine and broth?
Melodee, It’s more of a broth like consistency than a sauce, but reducing it thickens it a bit. Hope this helps!
What size shrimp were used in the recipe?
Connie, These are jumbo shrimp. I jsut added it to the recipe. 🙂
