Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Lemon Juice

    Pour in the dry white wine and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

  4. 4

    Finish with Cheese and Parsley

    Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan Reggiano cheese until melted and creamy. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately, preferably over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
