  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 lb shrimp
Squeeze two tablespoons of lemon juice and mince the garlic, or press it.

Garlic, then shrimp
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
Add the shrimp with a quarter teaspoon each of salt and black pepper; flip them once they take on colour and turn pink.
  • ¼ cup veggie stock or chicken stock
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
Add a quarter cup of dry white wine, or vegetable or chicken stock, and the red pepper flakes.
  • pasta
Bring to a simmer and cook about three minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half and the shrimp are cooked through; add the pasta now if using.
  • 2 tbsp butter
Off the heat, stir in the parsley, the remaining two tablespoons of butter and the lemon juice.
Finishing off the heat
  • crusty bread
Serve immediately over pasta or with crusty bread. Seafood goes tough and rubbery if cooked past done.
