Nice accompaniments for this Sicilian-style shrimp dish are sautéed broccoli and some orzo (rice-shaped pasta; also called riso) with butter and lots of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. For dessert, serve sliced pears and almond cookies.

Ingredients

1/2 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined

Preparation

  1. Step 1
