Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 454 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.25 cup white wine
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon zest of lemon
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring it doesn't brown.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the white wine and simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate while scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the low-sodium broth and lemon juice to the skillet. Allow to simmer and reduce slightly for about 3-4 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss in the sauce to coat well. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest before serving.
Serve over cooked pasta, zoodles, or your favorite vegetables.
