Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp (if you get shrimp with shell on, just remove the shells and the vein in the back)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc works really well)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional - you can use dried herbs like parsley, oregano as well

Instructions
 

  • In a large cast iron skillet, heat to medium heat
  • While the pan is heating up, peel and de-vein the shrimp
  • Once the pan is heated up, put butter into the pan with the garlic
  • Saute the garlic for about a minute and add shrimp (keep an eye on it, the shrimp cooks very fast)
  • Flip the shrimp after the first side turns pink (should only take about a minute)
  • Once all the shrimp are flipped, season with salt, pepper and add wine
  • Let the wine cook out and evaporate for about 2 minutes
  • Serve over pasta, rice, or eat on its own! Sprinkle parsley on top as a garnish if you wish!
