- 5
Pour in white wine and lemon juice. Simmer for 2 minutes.
- 6
Remove the shrimp from the pan. Stir in the remaining butter to finish making the sauce.

Chef's tips
Spot shrimp cook very fast because they are naturally sweet and tender. Take them off the heat the moment they turn opaque so they do not get rubbery.
Storage
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day; shrimp toughens with reheating.
Reheating
Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Overcooking the delicate shrimp.
- •Skipping the saved pasta water, which can leave the sauce too thin or greasy.
