Recipe Ingredients:

1 pound frozen, cooked shrimp
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (4 to 5 garlic cloves)
1 tablespoon crushed fennel seed
1/8 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced fresh (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup green California seedless grapes
1/4 cup white wine or vermouth
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fennel grass from top of fennel bulb, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add garlic, fennel seed and chili flakes. Stir. Let cook about 1 minute until garlic just begins to brown.
2. Add frozen cooked shrimp, sliced fennel bulb, grapes and salt and continue to cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until shrimp is heated through. Add white wine or vermouth, and simmer briefly, only about 30 seconds. Remove from heat; add butter and swirl pan to melt in. Adjust seasoning to taste; sprinkle with fennel grass and serve.
