How To Make lori's shrimp scampi

• Step 1
  Into a medium bowl, press ONLY TWO of the garlic cloves (or grate them on a microplane). Add the salt, only 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and stir to combine. Peel and devein the shrimp, then add to the oil mixture. Toss to coat and refrigerate 1/2 to 1 hour.
• Step 2
  Thinly slice the remaining two cloves of garlic and set aside.
• Step 3
  After marinating the shrimp: In a skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the shrimp and garlic oil to the pan and cook over medium flame until pink, but not completely cooked. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl and set aside. Leave all of the oil in the pan.
• Step 4
  Return pan to the flame and add the 2 cloves sliced garlic and the red pepper flakes. Saute, stirring constantly, for one minute (don't let it brown!!!). Add the wine and lemon juice and cook for about 2 minutes, letting it reduce by 1/3 to 1/2.
• Step 5
  Add the butter and stir until melted. Let it cook for about 4-5 minutes while it reduces slightly and thickens a bit. Return the shrimp and any juices to the pan. Toss and let cook for another 2 minutes so the shrimp cooks through. Add the chopped parsley. Serve immediately. We like ours over linguine al dente or creamy polenta. Sometimes we double the sauce, because it's so yummy!
