SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH CHARDONNAY-DIJON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the oil. Heat about 30 seconds; add the shrimp, distributing evenly in the pan. Cook, turning once, until pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a platter; cover with foil to keep them warm.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water; cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following package directions for the time.
• Meanwhile, heat the same skillet over high heat; add the wine. Stir with a wooden spoon to scrape and dissolve pan deposits; cook until liquid reduces by half, about 5 minutes. REduce the heat to medium-high; stir in the cream. Cook 1 minute; stir in the mustard. Cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
• Drain pasta; divide equally amongst 4 shallow bowls. Spoon the sauce over the pasta. Divide the shrimp evenly amongst the bowls. Garnish with parsley.
• This goes really well with crusty bread!

SHRIMP IN CHARDONNAY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a 10-inch skillet with sloping sides, or a wok or saucepan, combine wine, shallots, 2 tablespoons butter, a large pinch of salt and cayenne. Bring to a boil over high heat and reduce, stirring occasionally, until nearly dry, about 10 minutes. While it reduces, peel shrimp.
• Add shrimp to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in remaining butter and, if you like, cream. Taste and add more salt or cayenne if necessary. Garnish and serve immediately.
