The method

Step by step

1
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Drying the shrimp helps them sear better and prevents a watery sauce.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
About 1 min
3
Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan.
4
Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Burnt garlic can taste bitter, so watch it closely.
5
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer.
Cook’s note: Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
6
Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Shrimp cook quickly; do not overcook or they will become rubbery.
7
Pour in the dry white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Cook’s note: This deglazing step adds a lot of flavor to the sauce.
8
Stir in the fresh chopped parsley.
9
Remove from heat immediately and serve hot.
Cook’s note: Enjoy with crusty gluten-free bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
