How to make Shrimp Mosca


  1. Start by heating the olive oil (and butter, if you like…we always add butter) in a frying pan, adding the shrimp (shells on, folks!), herbs and spices and sauteeing until the shrimp turn pink.
  2. Add the wine and simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Serve with crunchy French bread and a salad of mixed greens.

We washed ours down with Joseph Drouhin’s LaForet Chardonnay, a reasonably priced bottle touted by The Washington Post last Fall as a "Wine of the Week."
