Shrimp Scampi

Good friends of ours gave us some shrimp they brought back from Alaska.  It was some of the best shrimp I have ever seen.  I didn't want to over do it, so I made a basic shrimp scampi.  This is great to make for guests that are coming over for dinner or even on top of some rice for a main course.  I made it as an appetizer for dinner guests.

 
Ingredients;
12 shrimps, peeled and cleaned
2 Tbsp butter
5 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup wine
1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1-2 tsp lemon juice
salt & pepper to taste

 I use the white wine from whole foods that is about $4 a bottle.  It's fine for cooking!

 Sprinkle salt and pepper on the shrimp, place a butter in a pan on high heat.

 

Melt butter, add garlic and saute for about a minute or 2.  Do not burn the garlic.

 Add the shrimp.

 Add the wine and squeeze a little lemon juice in the pan.

 Let them simmer for a few minutes

 Add the chopped parsley.

 Don't overcook the shrimp.  The total cooking time should be between 6-8 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp.  You're finished!

Thyme 2 Taste.... serve with lemon wedges.
