Recipe Notes
- Deveining Shrimp: Dark shrimp veins are usually removed for aesthetic purposes and it’s not essential to take them out, especially if pressed for time.
- Fish Alternatives: Squid would be delicious with the garlic sauce. Cook it quickly (for about 2 minutes), or it will become tough and rubbery. Sea scallops are another alternative. Cook them for about 2 minutes per side, without stirring, so they brown nicely.
- Wine Recommendation: Bold Mediterranean flavors welcome an easygoing wine such as a dry rosé from Spain or the south of France. If wine with a bit more sweetness is preferred, try a white zinfandel from California
