An adaptation from The Italian-American Cookbook. The smaller the shrimp the longer the prep time! I learned that the hard way years ago when I was having guest for dinner and they arrived long before I was finished peeling and deveining the shrimp.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil
28 large shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 1 1/2 pounds)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup dry white wine (sauvignon blanc)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add shrimp, saute 1 minute.
3. Add garlic, saute 1 minute.
4. Stir in wine, salt, and pepper, bring mixture to a boil.
5. Reduce heat to medium, cook 30 seconds.
6. Add parsley and lemon juice, toss well to coat.
7. Cook 1 minute or until shrimp are done.
