Shrimp Scampi

By MichelleF

This is an updated version of a recipe I posted in August.

This is my attempt at trying to duplicate a shrimp scampi dish we had recently in S. Louisiana. I took parts of 3 different recipes & this is what I came up with. The original recipe we ate had a lot of sauce which I'm not sure how to prepare yet. It was a thin sauce that wasn't just butter. It's pretty darn good!!

Ingredients

• 2 TB olive oil
• 1 to 1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, peeled & deveined
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 2 large or 3 regular size garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 TB Italian seasoning
• 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 lemon, juiced & zested, about 3 tsp juice
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 stick butter
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
