Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic (finely chopped/minced (about 1 teaspoon))
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper ((optional, more or less depending on spice preference))
1 - 1.5 lb. jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined, tail on or off depending on preference.)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (more if needed)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice ((from about 1 lemon))
1/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth, or water in a pinch)

Steps:

Heat the oil (2 tablespoons) in a large skillet (I prefer nonstick for this recipe) over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (2 cloves/1 teaspoon), dried oregano (1 teaspoon), and crushed red pepper if using (1/2 teaspoon). Sauté until fragrant and garlic is a little toasted, but not burned (turn heat down to medium-low if necessary), about 2-3 minutes.
Meanwhile, pat shrimp dry and season with kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon) and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon).
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté over medium-high heat, until almost cooked completely though and opaque, about 2 minutes on each side.
Add the lemon juice and white wine (1/4 cup). Stir to coat the shrimp in everything, and continue cooking until liquid has reduced almost completely and thickened (about 2-3 minutes), coating the shrimp in a thick sauce. Transfer to a serving platter or individual plates, making sure to drizzle all the sauce from the skillet on top of the shrimp to serve.
