Ingredients:

Quantity	Ingredient
1/3 cup	Extra virgin olive oil
3	Garlic cloves
1 teaspoon	Red pepper flakes
1 pound	Shrimp
To taste	Salt
1 tablespoon	Lemon juice
1/3 cup	Dry white wine
3 tablespoons	Butter
To garnish	Flat leaf parsley

Instructions:

Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering your ingredients. Peel and devein the shrimp if needed, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley for garnishing.
Infuse Oil with Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook slowly, allowing the garlic to infuse its flavor into the oil. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter.
Add Red Pepper Flakes: Once the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to turn golden, sprinkle in the red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Adjust the amount according to your preference.
Cook Shrimp: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Cook the shrimp until they are almost done, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the dry white wine, using it to deglaze the skillet and scrape up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom. Allow the alcohol to cook off, which should take about 1 minute.
Finish with Lemon Juice and Butter: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp, infusing them with a bright citrusy flavor. Then, add the butter to the skillet, swirling it into the sauce until it melts and coats the shrimp beautifully.
Garnish and Serve: Once the butter has melted and the sauce has come together, sprinkle chopped flat leaf parsley over the dish for a burst of freshness and color. Serve your shrimp scampi hot, either on its own or paired with your favorite side dishes.
