Instructions to make Shrimp Scampi:
Start with oiling the pan then sweating the minced garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
After about 2 minutes add the prawns and pepper flakes and let them cook on high heat just to give it color on both sides. Don't fully cook them yet, we just want some color. It should take 2-3 minutes.
Once they have some color start removing them and set aside onto a plate.
Now add the extra virgin olive oil, butter, and wine and let it reduce to about half it's volume. If you like more sauce just add more olive oil, butter, and wine and continue reducing.
Once reduced add the half cooked prawns, rough chopped Italian parsley, lemon zest, and juice of half the lemon. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to finish cooking the prawns.
Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed. If you cook the shrimp right they will have a nice crunch to them. Serve it as it is or over your favorite pasta. It also goes nicely with some warm crusty bread. Enjoy!
