Description Recipe About
From "The Most Decadent Diet Ever" cookbook by Devin Alexander.

So easy…so delicious! Always a great meal in my house! I serve it over whole wheat spaghetti.

Description from the cookbook:
"Shrimp may be the perfect "diet food." Even if it were fattening, I's consider eating it. Couple it with fresh garlic, my favorite seasoning, and how can you go wrong?
Whatever you do, when you start preparing this recipe, make sure you have all of your ingredients measured and ready to go before adding the wine and lemon juice to the pan.
Though it's always recommended that you prep everything in advance, it's not always key. Here, it definitely is or the wine and lemon juice will evaporate white you're off measuring – not only could it be detrimental to the taste, but you could easily burn your pan.
Also notice that the shrimp are cooked in batches. It's important not to cut corners on that. Overcrowding the pan will not yield the same better-than-at-your-local-restaurant results.

Ingredients

• Yield: 4 servings
• 1 1/4 pounds medium (31-40 count) shrimp, peeled (tails left on) and deveined
• 1 Tspn extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 Tspn salt, or to taste
• Black pepper
• 6 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 1/2 tablespoons)
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp light butter (stick, not tub)
• 2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Toss the shrimp with the olive oil, salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.

Place a large nonstick skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, put in half of the shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are just pink on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add ½ of the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are lightly browned on the outside and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Transfer the shrimp to a platter and cover to keep hot.

Repeat with remaining shrimp and garlic. Add them to the platter and cover.

Add the wine and lemon juice to the pan.

When the liquid is reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes, turn the heat to low and add the butter and 1 tablespoon parsley. Use a wooden spoon to stir until the butter is melted completely, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and toss well, then garnish with the remaining parsley.

Serve immediately.
