With a slotted spoon transfer the shrimp to a platter to keep them warm. From there, you want to take 1/4 cup of chicken broth, white wine, lemon juice and some parsley, salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Boil uncovered until the sauce is reduced by half. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and serve with a lemon wedge and parsley for a garnish.
