2. Cooking Directions

  1. Combine lemon juice, wine, 2 teaspoons oil and garlic in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally. Drain well, reserving marinade.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook, turning once, until barely pink, about 30 seconds per side; transfer to a plate. Add bay leaf, crushed red pepper and the reserved marinade to the pan; simmer for 4 minutes. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the pan; heat through. Season with salt, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

This quick Spanish-inspired saute is a lesson in simplicity. All shrimp really needs to dazzle is lots of garlic and a splash of lemon. Serve as a main dish or as a tapa (appetizer).

  • Made it twice in two days

    Its so good I made it twice...but the second time I doubled the marinade. I like a ton of sauce on my rice (what I served it with) so doubling the marinade was perfect.

  • Good, but could be improved

    sharpete24 - January 18, 2008 10:39:05 AM PST
    I changed up this recipe a bit because I thought it sounded a little bland. I used orange juice instead of the lemon juice and wine, and garlic chili sauce instead of just red peper flakes. It turned out great! I also added a bit of corn starch to the sauce at the end to thicken it up so it could be served over rice. Would make again!

  • Great Shrimp Dish

    lweekly2 - October 10, 2008 12:00:31 PM PST
    I made this for my candlelight dinner with my sweetheart David...and he loved it. I made a few changes. I used sherry in place of the wine and lime in place of the lemons. Well I just kind of used what I had on hand at the time. I made it with sphagetti noodles. A nice crisp salad and breadsticks, and for desert I made a chocolate cheese cake. It went well. I might do it again for a picnic lunch...

  • Good...

    slydog890 - May 13, 2008 05:51:15 PM PST
    I too added things to the recipe. It\'s a great starter. I added fresh tomato, scallions, artichoke hearts, additional garlic and crushed red pepper. I also used the lemon juice with orange juice. It turned out beautifully with thickened sauce!

  • A popular dish at our Memorial Day party

    kfarra3 - May 26, 2008 06:07:24 PM PST
    The first time I made this dish, I served over linguine as a main course. Yesterday I made a double batch and served as a warm appetizer for our memorial day party. The two pounds of shrimp went quickly. Adults and children enjoyed the dish.
