Shrimp Scampi

Instructions

1. 01

   Finely chop 2 of the garlic cloves, and place them in a large bowl along with shrimp, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and 1 teaspoon of the salt; toss to combine. Let stand for 15 minutes.

2. 02

   Thinly slice remaining 4 garlic cloves; set aside. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high until sizzling. Add shrimp, and cook, stirring often, until shrimp are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a large plate leaving butter mixture in skillet.

3. 03

   Add sliced garlic, crushed red pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet, and cook over medium-high, stirring constantly, until garlic is softened and some slices are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add wine, and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Simmer, stirring occasionally, to burn off some of the alcohol and sauce is just slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and return shrimp to skillet.
