Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Add Sambuca

    Carefully pour in the Sambuca and let it simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes. If desired, you can flambé the Sambuca for extra flavor. To do this, carefully ignite the liquid and let the flames subside.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Gamberi alla Sambuca!
