Add milk to mixture and whisk to combine. Bring mixture to a low simmer, whisking frequently, then remove from heat and stir in salt, pepper, and cheese. Stir until cheese has melted and you have a smooth sauce. Heat oil in a medium-sized skillet until shimmering. Add garlic, shrimp, salt and pepper and stir to combine.

Shrimp and prawns have plenty of similarities, but they are not the same animal. Their differences involve their biology. Shrimp bodies are encased in a sort of accordion shell, with a membrane between the segments. Prawns have a shell where each segment overlaps the one below it. There are no big differences between them when it comes to their nutritional value; they are both a good source of protein, and relatively low in calories.

Add the white wine and red pepper flakes. White wine incorporates acidity, cutting through the richness of the butter and oil and it also deglazes the pan. Step 3: Add the shrimp, salt and pepper. Go for medium to large shrimp as they make for a more alluring presentation. White pepper is a great substitute for the black pepper.

Of course, butter typically has a deeper flavor than oil, which is why many people prefer it. Serve this Shrimp In White Wine Sauce with any crusty bread such as baguette, ciabatta, or French bread. To elevate the presentation of this dish, serve it with homemade bread for mopping the sauce.
