1 pound, peeled and deveined

Olive oil

3 tablespoons

Garlic

Fresh parsley

1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
3. Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their juices.
4. Pour in the white wine, increase the heat slightly, and let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce a bit.
5. Add the fresh shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir gently to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
6. Cook the shrimp for 5-7 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque, stirring occasionally.
7. Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Stir to combine and enhance the flavor.
8. Serve the Skampi na Buzaru hot, accompanied by crusty bread for dipping or over a bed of pasta for a more filling meal.
