Method

1. Peel and de-vein the shrimp if necessary. Remove the tails if desired. Season shrimp with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley.
3. Bring a large skillet to medium heat, and add the olive oil. When the pan starts to steam and the olive oil starts to shimmer, add the shrimp and cook until they're pink and curling. This will only take a minute or two per side.
4. Remove the shrimp from the skillet as soon as they're pink, and set them aside to rest for a few minutes. The shrimp will continue to cook a little after being taken off the heat.
5. Lower the heat and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir constantly until garlic is soft and fragrant. Add the lemon juice and the white wine.
6. Raise the heat and bring the liquid to a boil.
7. As soon as it's boiling, lower the heat and add in the dried rosemary, oregano, thyme, and basil. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by half (at least five minutes).
8. One tablespoon at a time, add the butter, stirring constantly until it’s completely melted and totally incorporated.
9. Take the skillet off the heat, add the shrimp and parsley, and stir to combine. Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
10. Serve immediately, accompanied by biscuits or toasted slices of baguette.
