Shrimp Preparation
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
Cooking Broth
Prepare the Cooking Broth
In a large pot, combine water, white wine, minced garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the Shrimp
Once the broth is boiling, add the marinated shrimp to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
Drain the Shrimp
Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to a serving platter.
Serving Sauce
Prepare the Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes, and cook for an additional minute.
Serve
Drizzle the prepared sauce over the hot shrimp and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
