A marinade including vermouth, garlic, and Tabasco infuses the shrimp with sweet-and-spicy flavors.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs large shrimp (in the shell)

  • 3 Tbs dry white wine or vermouth
  • 1 Tbs minced shallots or green onions (white part only)
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp minced fresh dill or 1/2 teaspoon dried
