Ingredients:

  • 1 pound gluten-free pasta (penne, spaghetti, or linguine work well)
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  4. If using, pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a minute to reduce slightly.
  5. Stir in the cooked pasta, parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to combine.
  6. Add a little of the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Tips and Variations:

  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as spinach, asparagus, or cherry tomatoes.
  • Parmesan cheese (optional, but not gluten-free) can be sprinkled on top for a richer flavor.
  • If you don’t have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or simply omit it.
