Personal Notes:
This recipe can be made for more people. Increase the onion to 2 or 3. Double lemon and vermouth. Water should be enough to reach halfway up shrimp. Clean and de-vein as many shrimp as needed. I have also used this sauce with veal. Brown veal and add vermouth to de-glaze pan. Add reserved onions , lemon, and water. Cover and cook slowly till veal is tender.
