Garlic Lover’s Shrimp

Love garlic? Love shrimp? Boy have I got a recipe for you!

Plus, as if you needed a third reason to make this, it is healthy! I even plugged it into a Weight Watchers calculator and it comes out as 5 points per serving.

I know, you love me. I get that a lot.

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 tablespoon crushed red pepper (optional)
8 garlic cloves, crushed
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, deveined and peeled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon dry thyme


I got tiger shrimp from Costco and they came deveined.

DIRECTIONS
Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat.



Add the pepper, garlic, and bay leaf, then simmer for 30 seconds.





Add the shrimp and salt, then saute for 3 minutes.





Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set it aside.
Add the wine, parsley, and thyme to the skillet and bring it to a boil. Continue to boil until the alcohol evaporates – about 1 minute.



Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat.



Remove the bay leaf and serve with some crusty french bread.



My whole house smelled like garlic after making this, but boy was it good. I expected it to be overpoweringly garlicky but it really wasn’t. Just keep some breath mints handy!
