Equipment
- 1 Large skillet
- measuring cups and spoons
- spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup white wine
- 2 teaspoons parsley
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 pounds shrimp
Instructions
- Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat.
- Saute the garlic in the melted butter until soft, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the lemon juice, white wine, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Simmer for 3 minutes to reduce the liquid, stirring occasionally.
- Add shrimp and cook until it turns pink, about 5 minutes.
- Serve over rice or toss with pasta.
Notes
- Substitute 2 Tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley instead of the dried herbs. Or use use basil, oregano or Italian seasoning instead of the parsley if you prefer.
- For a bit of a kick, add ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes at the same time as the lemon juice and white wine.
- Cook the shrimp just until it turns pink. They will get tough if left on the heat for too long.
