Note
Serve immediately in bowls with lots of French bread on the side, or on a platter with cooked rice mounded in the middle and the shrimp and sauce surrounding it.
A certain percentage of oil is released when butter is melted. Shaking the pan in a back-and-forth motion and the addition of stock to the butter keep the sauce from separating and having an oily textureâÂÂstirring doesn't produce the same effect.
