Ingredients

• 2 pounds Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 6 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 cup White wine (dry)
• 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 loaf French or Italian bread, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and bubbling.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Stir in the Italian seasoning, cracked black pepper, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another minute to toast the spices.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip the shrimp over.

Step 6

Season the shrimp with salt, then pour in the white wine. Let the mixture simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked and pink, and the sauce has slightly reduced.

Step 7

Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 8

Serve the Shrimp Mosca hot with crusty French or Italian bread on the side to soak up the flavorful garlic sauce.
