Sautéed Garlic Shrimp

Ingredients

2 lbs. 21-25 shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp Creole Seasoning
½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
3 Tbs olive oil
1 ½ Tbs garlic, minced
¼ cup white wine
½ cup chicken broth
1 cup Wishbone Italian Dressing
¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
2 Tbs fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Season the shrimp with the salt, Creole seasoning and black pepper.

Place the olive oil in a large, heavy duty sauté pan over high heat. Heat the oil until it just begins to smoke. Carefully place the shrimp in the smoking hot pan. Allow the shrimp to cook without moving them for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir the shrimp. Cook for 3 more minutes. Add the white wine and allow it to reduce almost completely. Add in the chicken broth and Italian dressing and cook until the sauce begins to simmer. Cook for 3 more minutes in the simmering sauce. Add in the butter cubes, and blend the butter into the simmering sauce. Remove the shrimp from the heat and stir in the parsley. Serve immediately.

Yield: 8-10 servings

Sweet Potato Pancakes

I ate my first sweet potato pancake during my only visit to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. My family, along with another couple and their young children rented a cabin in the mountains during spring break. I woke every morning and headed into town for breakfast. I would imagine Gatlinburg has more pancake houses per capita than any place on the planet. My problem is that I never found a good-tasting pancake until I happened across sweet potato pancakes at one of the pancake houses. We serve a version of this recipe at The Midtowner. The Cinnamon Cream Syrup is a must.
