Dd's Shrimp Scampi

I've been craving pasta lately, and this looks like it would totally fit the bill.

 

SHRIMP SCAMPI

 

6 oz. pasta, cooked according to package directions

½ # large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Garlic salt, as needed

2 TB olive oil 

5 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

1/3 c. white wine

Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus wedges for serving

1 small bunch broccoli, florets

3 TB butter

2 TB Italian parsley, chopped

 

Season shrimp with salt.  In a skillet over medium-high heat sauté garlic and red pepper flakes in olive oil 30-45 seconds. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally. Cook until just pink and just cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove shrimp to a plate.  

Into skillet add wine, lemon juice and broccoli. Simmer until slightly reduced, 2 minutes and broccoli is cooked to desired doneness. 

Into skillet add pasta, butter and shrimp with  any juices from the plate. Continue to cook, tossing, until the butter is melted and shrimp is heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt; stir in parsley. Serve with lemon wedges. Serves 2-3.
