When you’re running short on time and are in need of a flavorful dinner, this white wine garlic chili shrimp is the perfect 15 minute dinner!

The best white wine garlic chili shrimp recipe ever!

Earlier this year, my husband and I went to Kohler, WI on a little relaxation weekend. While we were there, we watched this cooking demonstration and got to sample the food being made. My favorite bite was this shrimp in this white wine garlic butter sauce sauce which was served with a side of toast. It was so easy sounding, and the chef put it together in 10 minutes. Here is a picture of the dish we sampled while on vacation:

So last week when I was short on time (it’s just a given I’m short on time these days) I had some shrimp in the freezer, 15 minutes later, I had made dinner. I love shrimp because it can be cooked so quickly.

I used a habanero pepper for this, and while some might balk at the thought of a pepper so spicy, it really wasn’t a super hot and spicy dish, it had a nice medium heat to it. If you want, you could either use a pinch of dried red pepper flakes, or jalapeno, or omit spice all together.

Also, I served this shrimp dish with wedges of bread – I love dredging bread through the sauce, it’s so so good (clearly I like the whole bread with sauce thing – did you see this chicken curry with ginger and garlic? For that recipe I used naan to sop up the sauce with and it was so good.) I used ciabatta bread cut into triangles to serve with this dish. Both the shrimp and the bread were in my freezer, so it was awesome to make dinner in 15 minutes with things I had on hand. Next time you’re needing a super easy quick dinner, make this white wine garlic chili shrimp!

    Do you thaw the shrimp first or cook from frozen?

      Hi Karen, I typically thaw the shrimp first (granted, some are probably still a little frozen) 🙂

    You’re right this is too good and easy to pass up! I’ve made it a few occasions and I love it best with some angel hair pasta and parmesan on top. Delicious!

    We have just started to eat fish again, so we are enjoying lots of shrimp and this looks like a great way to enjoy them. The more garlic the better I say!

      I’m right there with you – the more garlic the better. You could totally add in more garlic to this recipe 🙂 I have been on a huge seafood kick lately, so glad to hear you’re eating fish again 🙂

Iced coffee or hot coffee?! ☕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There’s nothing I enjoy more than a cold, delicious iced coffee from Starbucks. But sometimes I don’t have the time (or, let’s be real, the 💰) to pick one of these bad boys up in the mornings, so I was determined to figure out how to make Starbucks iced coffee at home, which is exactly what I did with this french press iced coffee!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
