Crushed red-pepper flakes, a few cloves of garlic, parsley, and oregano add plenty of flavor to these sautèed shrimp. Serve alone or with our Spaghetti with Radicchio and Ricotta.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds large shrimp, tails on, peeled and deveined

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

For the Seasoning

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

  • Pinch of crushed red-pepper flakes

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until soft but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add shrimp, parsley, oregano, and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp are bright pink and opaque, about 2 minutes.

  2. Raise heat to medium-high, and add wine. Continue cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, with lemon wedges on the side.
