{Shrimp Scampi}

I've tried several Shrimp Scampi recipes and this one has been my only tried and true. 
Bon appetit!
 What To Do:  
1/3 c extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 lb peeled, deveined shrimp
salt
1/3 c dry white wine
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp butter

What To Do: 
Put olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat and cook slowly to infuse the oil with the garlic, but do not burn garlic. Add red pepper flakes. Raise the heat to medium high. Add shrimp and season with a little salt. Cook until shrimp is almost done. Add wine, cook until alcohol is burned off, about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and butter to finish. Garnish with parsley if desired.
