SHRIMP ALEXANDER, MORTON'S OF CHICAGO RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Make the Beurre Blanc Sauce: Leave the 2 cups of butter at room temperature to soften. Melt the 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the shallots in the melted butter until soft. Remove the shallots and set aside. Add the wine to the skillet. Bring to a boil and let simmer until the liquid is reduced by three-quarters.
