  • asparagus
Crack three eggs, season with salt and black pepper and beat with a fork.
  • oil
Heat oil in a pan.
Heating the oil
  • shrimp
  • flour
Coat the deveined, butterflied shrimp in flour, then put them in the egg and let sit a minute.
When the oil is hot, lower the heat a little so they do not burn; lay the shrimp in one by one and fry lightly until golden, not fully, since they cook again in the sauce. Set aside.

In a bigger pan, heat olive oil and butter until the butter melts a little; move the shrimp in one by one.
Starting the lemon butter sauce
  • white wine
  • water
  • 2–3 pieces lemon juice
  • parsley
  • basil
Add white wine, a tiny bit of water and plenty of lemon juice; add parsley and a few basil leaves.
Wine, lemon and herbs

  • arugula
  • lemon
  • vinegar
Plate with arugula, lemon, a sprinkle of olive oil, a little salt and vinegar; add the shrimp and asparagus on the side.
