Shrimp in Garlic

A quick fix for garlic lovers, this is a classic Spanish tapas dish.

Ingredients (Serves 8)

6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
10 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
16 shrimp (26-30 count), peeled and deveined
2 tsp salt, divided use
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper, divided use
1/2 cup white wine or lemon juice
1/4 cup roughly chopped Italian parsley

Instructions

  1. In a pot over medium-high, heat oil. Sauté pepper flakes and garlic for a minute, then add shrimp and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch pepper. Remove shrimp using a slotted spoon when just cooked through and pink. Remove garlic just as it starts to brown and set aside.
  2. Add wine to pot (keeping heat at medium-high), and reduce by three-quarters, shaking pan frequently to emulsify sauce, 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Season with remaining salt and pepper and add parsley. Place shrimp on a platter and drizzle with sauce and garlic.
