What Makes This Recipe Special

Packed with bright, fresh flavors and comes together quickly, making it perfect for busy weeknights. The garlic and lemon add a zesty punch, while the buttery sauce gives it a rich, comforting finish. Everyone will love the tender, juicy shrimp in every bite.

Tips To Improve This Recipe

- Use fresh garlic and lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Don’t overcook the shrimp; they only need a few minutes until they turn pink.
- Toss the pasta in the sauce to fully coat it and soak up all the delicious flavors.

Step 1

Blend the flour, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Toss the shrimp in this mixture until they're well coated. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over high heat, then cook the shrimp for about 5 minutes, stirring often so they don’t burn. Once they’re cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a serving dish, but leave the oil in the pan.

Step 2

Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic, shallot, parsley, and oregano to the skillet. Cook everything, stirring constantly, for around 3 minutes until fragrant. Spoon this flavorful mixture over the shrimp.

Step 3

Turn the heat back up and pour in the wine and brandy. Carefully ignite the liquid with a match or lighter to flambé. When the flames die down, give the pan a good stir to scrape up any tasty browned bits, then pour it all over the shrimp.

Step 4

Finally, pop the shrimp under a preheated broiler on medium for about 2 minutes to finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Serving Style Ideas

Serve this dish over a bed of linguine or spaghetti for a classic touch. Add a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley and a side of crusty bread to mop up the sauce. A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette pairs well to balance the richness.

Proper Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to avoid overcooking the shrimp. It’s best enjoyed fresh but can be refreshed with a splash of lemon juice before serving again.
