¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup dry white wine
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley leaves (Optional)
Lemon wedges

Description

Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails intact. Rinse shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Place shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag set in a shallow bowl.
For marinade, in a small bowl, combine olive oil, wine, garlic, lemon peel, salt and red pepper. Pour over shrimp. Seal bag and toss gently to coat shrimp. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
