Instructions

    • I start with chopping all of the herbs, garlic, shallots, lemon, and cutting the tomatoes in half, you don’t have to but I like it that way!
    • In a large sauté pan cook the pancetta until crispy-remove.
    • Add olive oil and shrimp to pan and cook just until cooked through-remove.
    • Sautee garlic and shallots and cook over moderate heat until slightly caramelized.
    • Add tomatoes and half of the fresh herbs, toss it all around and then add the white wine, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
    • Reduce by half and add the lemon juice from half of a lemon, and salt and pepper to taste.
    • Add butter, I use a stick, but you can use less if you do not want it super buttery. Add back in the shrimp and pancetta and continue to cook emulsifying the butter.
    • Serve with fresh toasted bread to soak up all the yumminess!  I use French Artisan bread, coat it in butter, garlic salt and parsley and toast it up!
