Ingredients:
1 pound large shrimp
1 T. finely minced garlic
3 T. olive oil
1/2 t. salt, plus more to taste
1 recipe marinara sauce
2 T. rich chicken stock
1T. dried hot red pepper flakes
Salt & black pepper to taste
Finely chopped fresh parsley
Method:
- Shell, devein, and butterfly the shrimp. Mix well in a bowl with garlic, 1 T. of olive oil, and salt. Marinate, for 1 hour in fridge.
- When ready to cook, place the remaining 2 T. of olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the marinated shrimp, spreading them out so that the cut surfaces lie flat in the bottom of the pan.
- Remove shrimp and reserve. Add the marinara sauce with the chicken stock. Boil rapidly over high heat until no liquid remains, about 5 minutes. Add the reserved shrimp, toss well, and cook until the shrimp are just warm. Add the red pepper flakes, if desired, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle parsley on top, and serve immediately.
