Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (or substitute with more chicken broth)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 loaf of your favorite baguette for garlic bread
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Substitution tip: If you’re out of white wine, feel free to use all chicken broth instead. And for a gluten-free option, serve with gluten-free bread or pasta instead of a baguette.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Spread this mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette.
- Place the baguette on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, white wine (or more broth), red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and zest. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet, along with the chopped parsley. Stir everything together until the shrimp are well coated in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the shrimp over cooked pasta or rice, with slices of the garlic bread on the side. Sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
