Published Aug 13, 2019 Updated Nov 03, 2024 When you have fresh and succulent shrimp, it’s just a matter of simple searing and sauteing to bring out all the briny flavors. Add a little bit of garlic and white wine and this dish becomes super fancy and flavorful! The best part? It only takes 15 minutes to make. It’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want something quick and delicious. But it’s also elegant enough to be served at a dinner party! Want more easy shrimp recipes?

You can also use gulf shrimp, jumbo prawn, or tiger prawn for this sauteed shrimp recipe. I highly recommend cooking whole shrimp, which have shells and heads as they add a lot of flavors and aromas to the dish.
