Ingredients

• 3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• 1 1/4 lb. shrimp or bay scallops, peeled and deveined
• 2 Tbs. olive oil
• 1/2 c. white wine
• 6 Tbs. butter ( I used Smart Balance)
• 1 Tbs. lemon juice
• 2 Tbs. chopped Italian parsley
• 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes

Directions

1. In a bowl, toss garlic, salt and pepper with the shrimp, which may be refrigerated, well covered, for several hrs.

2. When ready to cook, heat oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it shimmers, then add shrimp and move shrimp around in the pan for about 2 min., or until the color just begins to turn to translucent.

3. Remove shrimp, reduce heat to medium-high and add wine, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook for a couple of mins. to reduce, then add butter and swirl the pan to melt it.

4. Put shrimp back into the pan, stir for about 1 min. to finish cooking and add lemon juice.

5. Remove to serving dish, sprinkle with parsley, and red pepper flakes. Serve over rice or pasta.
