Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 cup White wine (dry)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 loaf French or Italian bread, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and bubbling.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, cracked black pepper, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip the shrimp over.
Season the shrimp with salt, then pour in the white wine. Let the mixture simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked and pink, and the sauce has slightly reduced.
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve the Shrimp Mosca hot with crusty French or Italian bread on the side to soak up the flavorful garlic sauce.
