How to cook deliciously - Shrimp Scampi

1. Stage

Sauté the garlic and red pepper flakes in butter and olive oil: Heat a sauté pan on high heat then reduce to medium high heat. Swirl the butter and olive oil into the pan. After the butter melts it will foam up a bit then subside. If using unsalted butter, sprinkle a little salt in the pan. Stir in the slivered garlic and red pepper flakes.

2. Stage

Add the shrimp and white wine: Sauté the garlic for just a minute, until it begins to brown lightly on the edges, then add the shrimp. Add the wine and stir to coat the shrimp. Move the shrimp, so they are in an even layer in the pan. Increase the heat to high and boil the wine for about two minutes.

3. Stage

Turn the shrimp over to cook the other side: Stir the shrimp and arrange them so you turn them over to cook on the other side. Continue to cook on high heat for another minute.

4. Stage

Toss with parsley, lemon juice, and pepper: Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with parsley, lemon juice, and black pepper, and toss to combine.

5. Stage

Serve hot with bread, pasta or rice: Serve as is, or with crusty bread, over pasta, or over rice (for a gluten-free version).
