Here's what you'll do...
Use a kitchen towel to remove excess water from shrimp.
Meanwhile, add oil to a large skillet and set over medium-high heat. Once oil begins to shimmer, add shrimp. Once color turns slightly pink, turn shrimp and cook an additional minute.
Remove shrimp from skillet and blot any excess oil.
With heat still set to medium-high, add white wine. Using a wood spoon, scrape bits from skillet. Once wine has reduced by half, increase heat to high, adding stock, cold butter, and spices.
Stir and allow to reduce by 1/3. Taste sauce, adjusting sea salt, if necessary.
Add shrimp to sauce, allowing shrimp to become completely pink.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and enjoy. *Shown with Wild Rice Salad.
Whatever you do, do not discard the shrimp shells. They are the foundation of a good seafood stock.
