Our fast take on an Italian-American classic. Francese is usually made with battered chicken or veal but shrimp is even more delicious in the buttery lemon and white wine sauce.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound large shrimp (14 to 16), peeled and deveined, tails on
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup finely grated (preferably on a Microplane) Parmesan cheese
All-purpose flour, for dredging
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 lemons, 1 juiced and 1 sliced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Slice each shrimp along the back to open (butterfly) slightly. Whisk together eggs and cheese in a shallow dish; place flour in another shallow dish. Dredge shrimp lightly in flour, then coat completely in egg mixture.
  • Whisk together broth, wine, and lemon juice; set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in oil, then butter. Cook shrimp in 2 single-layer batches, adding more oil between batches as needed, until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side; transfer each batch to a plate when done. Pour broth mixture into skillet and cook, swirling skillet, until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add lemon slices and parsley, and pour over shrimp. Serve immediately.
