How To Make Shrimp Scampi

Peel the shrimp, removing the shells and tails.

Rinse the shrimp under water to clean them and remove the veins.

Dry the shrimp with a towel to prevent splashing when cooking.

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with sliced garlic, pepper flakes, oregano, and salt.

Heat extra virgin olive oil in a pan until hot but not smoking.

Add the shrimp to the hot oil and cook until they start to change color and firm up, being careful not to overcook them.

Remove the shrimp from the pan to prevent overcooking and set aside.

Add more sliced garlic to the pan and brown it carefully without burning it.

Pour in white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.

Add lemon zest and lemon juice to the pan for flavor.

Stir in chopped Italian parsley and add butter to finish the sauce.
