Easy Shrimp Scampi

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.

Pour in 1/4 cup of dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio) and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve immediately over cooked linguine or your favorite pasta. Garnish with additional parsley and a lemon wedge, if desired.
