Why you’ll love this shrimp recipe
Shrimp and mushrooms in an aromatic garlic-infused white wine sauce are hard to beat! This combo is absolutely amazing. Mushrooms are utterly delicious when sautéed with garlic. Add some juicy shrimp to this combo and the whole dish transforms into a flavor party! It’s perfect for a busy weeknight, yet elegant enough to make for any special occasion. Absolutely delicious and super easy to make!
Let’s get into the details. First, we briefly marinate the shrimp, this adds a more intense flavor to the shrimp when seared. In the meantime, we prepare all the ingredients for a super fast cooking process. When you have everything ready to go, we sear the shrimp, this takes only a few minutes. Next, cook the mushrooms, add spices, thinly sliced garlic and some olive oil. We let the mushrooms soak up all the garlicky flavors, while we stir constantly to prevent garlic from burning and becoming bitter.
Deglaze the skillet with white wine. Add some parsley and lemon juice. Stir in shrimp, sprinkle some red pepper flakes, and done!

We love this so much, we’ve made it twice in the last week using frozen shrimp from Costco. Quick, easy and delicious! It’s especially easy when my sous chef (wife) does the prep work on the mushrooms and garlic. This will become a regular meal in our house. Thank you.
