This quick Spanish-inspired saute is a lesson in simplicity. All shrimp really needs to dazzle is lots of garlic and a splash of lemon. Serve as a main dish or as a tapa (appetizer).

fantastic flavor I'm not a big seafood fan but this recipe had great lemon/garlic flavor. We ended up dipping our steamed broccoli in the sauce - next time I'll service this over rice to soak up the sauce. Read More

Quick and easy dinner option We absolutely loved this recipe and will make it with rice next time to soak up the delicious sauce. This is a keeper! Pros: My husband and I love shrimp and this is the tastiest recipe I've found. Cons: I added 1 more tablespoon of wine and less pepper flakes. Read More

This was quite tasty light and just a hint of spiciness. I served the shrimp over Bismati Rice for a light dinner. Delicious! I'll definitely make this again. Christine Sweden Read More

This is so delicious! I make it quite often. I substituted basil for the parsley and used chicken stock in lieu of the white wine (I didn't have any). And I didn't use the bay leaf. It was to die for delicious! Usually I serve it with rice and either beans or asparagus. Tonight I'm going to try and make it into a pasta recipe by adding a chopped Roma tomato to the marinade at the end and reserving some pasta water and serving it with whole wheat linguine and asparagus.
