Why It Works

• The combination of garlic, white wine, and parsley creates a flavorful sauce that perfectly complements the shrimp.
• Cooking the shrimp in a hot skillet ensures that they cook evenly and quickly, without overcooking.
• Adding the white wine to the skillet deglazes the pan and adds a touch of acidity to the dish.
• The parsley adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor to the dish.
