Method
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.

- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a boil and cook for about 2-3 minutes.

- Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Serve hot with crusty bread or over pasta.
