#MEwx recipe correction Vodka Lime Sauce

A few days ago I posted a recipe for Grilled Shrimp with Vodka Lime Sauce. I neglected to post how to make the Lie Sauce with the Vodka. Below is how to make the vodka Lime Sauce.

Vodka-Lime Sauce

1 cup vodka

1 cup dry white wine

1/3 cup fresh lime juice

12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

3/4 cup sliced green onions, green and white parts, for garnish (I avoid this part, onions don’t like me very much)

directions

In a shallow flat-bottomed dish, combine the shrimp with the oil, salt, and pepper. Let stand at room temperature while preheating the grill.

Preheat the grill.

To make the vodka-lime sauce: In an enamel or glass saucepan (I used my hard-anodized Windsor pan), combine the vodka, wine, and lime juice. Reduce the

mixture over medium heat to 1/3 the original amount.

Add the butter, 1 piece at a time, quickly whisking in until completely incorporated. You want to blend each piece of butter in fully, not just melt it,

before adding the next. Work quickly but do not increase the heat under the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce warm in a warm water bath

until ready to use. Do not reheat the sauce over direct heat.

Arrange the shrimp in 1 layer in a hinged grill pan. Grill over a hot fire for 4 minutes per side, or until just cooked through. You can also saute them

in batches, using 1 tablespoon of olive oil per batch, in a hot cast-iron skillet for 4 minutes per side.

To serve, put shrimp on each plate, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of sauce over them, and sprinkle scallion rings on top. Serve at once.

Note: Soak the shrimp in the vodka sauce overnight for the best flavor. After all, the alcohol tends to cook out of the shrimp when you put them on the grill, but the flavor stays in.
