Method

Gambas

  1. 1

    Prepare

    Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with half of the salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Sauté aromatics

    Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the oil. Sauté 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and just starting to color.

  4. 4

    Cook shrimp

    Increase heat to medium-high. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.

  5. 5

    Deglaze

    Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits and simmer 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.

  6. 6

    Finish

    Stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley. Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds more to blend flavors.

Serving

  1. 7
