Shrimp Scampi

This is a such a quick recipe to make, there’s nothing complicated about it. Just simple ingredients combined, to result in an amazing dish. The shrimp sits in a garlicky, buttery sauce that is perfect for mopping up with bread, or served over pasta instead. It´s a great week night meal, but would also be great as an appetizer at a party. Its easily doubled, and the shrimp size can also vary. If you prefer to leave the shrimp with the shell on,  that's not a problem, what I do suggest, is using fresh parsley and garlic. I hope you give it a try !









 500g//1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons  parsley, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp and sauté until light pink, about two minutes.
Add the garlic, butter and parsley and cook until fragrant, another minute or two.
Stir in the wine, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add salt and pepper if needed.
Continue cooking until the shrimp is cooked all the way through, three to five more minutes.


**if serving with  linguine/pasta :

Cook the linguine according to the package's directions; drain and set aside. add the linguine to the skillet and toss until coated with the wine sauce. Serve immediately.
