Ingredients
- 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, with tail portion left intact

- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tsp (10 ml) chopped fresh parsley
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the shrimp in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer, with about a half-inch (1 cm) space between each of them. Combine the champagne, butter, lemon juice, garlic and cayenne in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the shrimp; season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until the shrimp have turned pink and are slightly firm to the touch. Divide the shrimp and sauce between 2 heated plates, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
