Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Peel and devein shrimp; rinse. Set shrimp aside. For green sauce, in a medium skillet cook tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeno or serrano pepper in hot oil for about 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Cool slightly. Place tomatillo mixture in a blender container or food processor bowl; add chicken broth, cilantro, and parsley. Cover and blend or process until nearly smooth. Return mixture to skillet and heat through. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan cook shrimp in boiling water for 1 to 3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Drain well. Toss cooked shrimp with sauce. To serve, spoon shrimp mixture over rice. If desired, garnish with tomato wedges and additional cilantro.
Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the sauce as directed in Steps 2 and 3, except do not return the sauce to the skillet. Cover and chill the sauce for up to 2 days. To serve, place in a covered saucepan and heat over medium heat until hot.
