GLAZED SHRIMP WITH LEMON-GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

This is a great sit around dish for two. Just make sure it is a stay at home meal or you have to break out the industrial strength mouthwash for the garlic..

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 tablespoons dark cane syrup

1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 cup white wine

1/4 cup chicken broth or clam juice

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 stick butter quartered

    In a bowl toss together shrimp, cane syrup, Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

    In a skillet, heat olive oil to medium and cook shrimp until browned.

    They will brown due to the syrup instead of turning pink.

    Remove shrimp from pan and keep warm. Add garlic and cook until slightly brown.

    Stir in white wine, chicken broth, lemon juice and thyme. Lower fire and simmer for 5 minutes, until reduced by half.

    Lower heat as low as it will go and stir in chilled butter until it is melted. Remove from heat and return shrimp to pan and toss with butter sauce.

    Have plenty of your favorite crusty bread to dip in the butter sauce.
