How to Make Aegean Shrimp

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  2. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  3. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), parsley, oregano, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Serve immediately over pasta or with crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy!
