How to Make Another Shrimp Scampi

  1. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil and 4 cloves minced garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook slowly for 5-7 minutes, allowing the oil to infuse with the garlic's flavor. Do not brown the garlic.
  2. Add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
  3. Increase heat to medium-high.
  4. Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined) and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
  5. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and almost cooked through.
  6. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine and cook for 1 minute, until the alcohol has evaporated.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and 4 tablespoons butter. Cook until the butter is melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  8. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread or your favorite pasta.
