Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Shell and devein the shrimp.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet and add the shrimp. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let cook, stirring, one minute or less. Cook only until the shrimp lose their raw look. Add the vermouth, and when it comes to a boil, let cook over high heat for about 15 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Combine the onion and vinegar in a saucepan. Drain the juices from the shrimp into the saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook down over relatively high heat to about ¼ cup. Add the cream, and bring to a boil.

  4. Step 4

    Cut the remaining butter into small pieces and add it to the sauce. Swirl the butter into the sauce. Combine the sauce with the shrimp. Add the parsley. Serve with cheese rice.
