This is such a quick and easy dish! It's great over pasta, or just with bread for soaking up the sauce. The shrimp also make a great pizza topping--drain the sauce from the shrimp, and save it to dip your pizza crusts in! Read more We had this again last night. I cooked the pasta, drained it and put it in a bowl, cooked the shrimp, and poured the sauce over the pasta with some additional olive oil, top with the shrimp and some parm, and you've got a delicious dinner.

Ingredients

- 4 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- pinch of red pepper flakes shopping list
- 1/3 cup white wine (you know the rule, use wine you'd actually drink!) shopping list

How to make it
- This dish is all in the timing.
- Get everything ready to go ahead of time and that way, you can add it to the pan without having to run around the kitchen.
- Otherwise, you'll end up with rubbery overcooked shrimp, instead of the tender little morsels they are.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, and add the garlic.
- Cook slowly for a minute or two to flavor the oil with garlic, but be careful not to burn it.
- Add the red pepper flakes and increase the heat to medium high.
- Add the wine and let this go for about a minute, then add the shrimp.
- Season with salt.
- Cook until the shrimp is almost done (this will only take a couple of minutes.)
- Add the lemon juice and butter to finish the sauce.
- Garnish with finely chopped parsley.

I use a very similar recipe for chicken called "chicken scampi." I'm sure your recipe is delicious :)
