Ingredients
- 750 large shrimp peeled or in the shell, or jumbo shrimp, 1-1/2 lb
- 4 garlic minced or sliced, 5 cloves
- 50 butter 3 Tbs
- olive oil enough to cover the bottom of the skillet
- white wine about 100ml/1/2 cup, or more if you want more sauce, generous splash
- To finish the dish:
- lemon juice of half
- parsley finely chopped, a handful, fresh
- black pepper freshly ground
Optional:
- A peperoncino or a pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Melt the butter in the olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Add the garlic (and peperoncino if using) and sauté gently until the garlic is just beginning to brown.
- Turn up the flame and add the shrimp. Toss for a minute or two, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go.
- Add the white wine. Let simmer for just another few minutes more, until the shrimp turns pink and loses its translucence. The exact cooking time will depend on the size of the shrimp.
- Remove the shrimp to a serving dish. Add the lemon juice, parsley and freshly ground black pepper (and red pepper flakes if using) to the sauce remaining in the skillet and simmer for another minute or so.
- Nap the shrimp with the sauce and serve immediately, topped with more parsley and a few red pepper flakes if you like, with lots of crusty bread on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Total cooking times will vary according to the size of your shrimp. As a general rule of thumb, jumbo shrimp take about 7 to 8 minutes to cooking, large shrimp about 5 to 7 minutes, and medium sized shrimp only 3 to 4 minutes.
