Healthy & Easy Shrimp Scampi

I am not a huge sea food fan... but I'll eat shrimp sometimes. 
Boy was this meal tasty & healthy! 



( I added a packet of italian seasoning too!) 
Ingredients
  • 4 tsp olive oil 

  • 1 1/4 pounds med raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails left on)
  • 6-8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup + 1 T minced parsley
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 4 lemon wedges
Preparation
  1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Saute the shrimp until just pink, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon transfer the shrimp to a platter and keep them warm.
  2. In the skillet, combine the broth, wine, lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the parsley, the salt and pepper; and bring it to a boil. Boil uncovered, until the sauce is reduced by half.
  3. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp. Serve garnished with the lemon wedges and sprinkled with the remaining tablespoon of parsley.
