Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams shrimp (with shells on)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 30 grams fresh parsley
- 200 milliliters dry white wine
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 100 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, and finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir gently to coat them with the garlic and oil. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp start turning pink.
Pour in the dry white wine and water, then add the breadcrumbs. Stir gently to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper, then sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 7-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the shrimp to fully cook.
Check the seasoning and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the shrimp immediately, garnished with lemon wedges, alongside crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful sauce.
