How to Make New Orleans Rosemary Shrimp

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound pasta (your choice of shape) and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined), 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped), and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the skillet.
  4. Stir to coat the shrimp evenly in the garlic and oil.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc), 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, and the juice of 1 lemon.
  6. Stir well, then cover the skillet and reduce heat to low.
  7. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the garlic is tender.
  8. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pasta to prevent sticking.
  9. Add the cooked shrimp and sauce to the pasta. Toss gently to combine.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (to taste).
