Recipe: Shrimp in Green Sauce (food processor)

SHRIMP IN GREEN SAUCE

1 bunch scallions
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley
3 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 medium cloves garlic
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 pounds frozen peeled and deveined large shrimp, defrosted
1/3 cup dry white wine

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Trim off the root ends of the scallions; peel off and discard their outer layer. Cut the white and light-green parts into 2-inch pieces and place in the bowl of a food processor.

Rinse the parsley well and blot dry with paper towels. Trim off and discard the stems; add the parsley leaves to the processor bowl, along with the oil and garlic. Process for about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Transfer to a large bowl, add the seasonings and mix well. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly, then spoon the coated shrimp into a shallow roasting pan. Add the wine and stir slightly to incorporate.

Roast at 500 degrees F for 2 to 3 minutes, then stir the contents of the pan; roast for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and curled, and much of the wine has evaporated.

Divide the shrimp and sauce among individual plates. Serve immediately.
