instructions
    1

    Start by cleaning the shrimp under cold running water, then pat them dry with a paper towel. This will ensure they sear nicely.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    3

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook them for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender and golden.

    4

    Move the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then turn them over and pour in 100 milliliters of white wine.

    5

    Let the wine simmer for 3-4 minutes until it reduces slightly, and the shrimp turns pink and opaque. If needed, season with salt and black pepper to taste.

    6

    Stir in the chopped parsley and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine all flavors.

    7

    Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
