  • 1 ¼ pounds large (16-20 count) peeled and deveined raw shrimp

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

  • cup dry white wine

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 2 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 1 medium lemon)

  1. Finely grate 3 of the garlic cloves (you will have about 1 teaspoon); slice remaining 3 garlic cloves (you will have about 1 tablespoon). Set aside sliced garlic cloves. Stir together shrimp, oil, grated garlic, crushed red pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a medium bowl. Let stand 10 minutes.

Add shrimp mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is opaque, about 4 minutes. Remove shrimp from skillet with a slotted spoon. Add wine to skillet; bring to a boil over high, and boil until wine is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Return shrimp to skillet, and add lemon zest, lemon juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss until shrimp is well coated with sauce. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
