Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden but not burnt.
  2. Step 2: Add 8 oz sliced fresh white mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
  3. Step 3: Add 12 peeled and deveined large shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and sauté for 2 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn opaque and curl.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1/3 cup dry white wine and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring gently until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the shrimp and mushrooms.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the dish.
