Made this yesterday for my daughter-in-law and it was a major hit... again...
Sweet onion cut in 6 wedges
Stick of butter
2# shrimp
6oz white wine
1tsp salt
Put together in a covered pot on high heat and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, but leave on the burner. Ladle the shrimp out and set aside.
Add 2# of snap peas to the kettle and bring to a boil again on high. Turn off the heat and put the everything in a large serving bowl.
Crusty French bread to sop up the liquid is really good... absolutely as simple as possible...
And, it don't suck.
