Steps:
- Heat the oil (2 tablespoons) in a large skillet (I prefer nonstick for this recipe) over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (2 cloves/1 teaspoon), dried oregano (1 teaspoon), and crushed red pepper if using (1/2 teaspoon). Sauté until fragrant and garlic is a little toasted, but not burned (turn heat down to medium-low if necessary), about 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat shrimp dry and season with kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon) and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon).
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté over medium-high heat, until almost cooked completely though and opaque, about 2 minutes on each side.
- Add the lemon juice and white wine (1/4 cup). Stir to coat the shrimp in everything, and continue cooking until liquid has reduced almost completely and thickened (about 2-3 minutes), coating the shrimp in a thick sauce. Transfer to a serving platter or individual plates, making sure to drizzle all the sauce from the skillet on top of the shrimp to serve.

SAUTEED ARUGULA WITH PANCETTA AND GARLIC
Steps:
- Saute the garlic and pancetta in a large skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to crisp and turn golden. If the pancetta is lean and renders little fat, add the olive oil. Add the arugula and cook, turning occasionally, until the leaves wilt, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
SHRIMP LINGUINE WITH HERBS, CORN AND ARUGULA
The beauty of this pasta lies in its ease: Combine fresh, seasonal ingredients and let them shine. Here, shrimp is sautéed in butter until just cooked through, then set aside while the rest of the dish comes together. Peppery arugula, sweet corn and an abundance of fresh herbs round out this easy-to-assemble dinner, which is perfect after a long day at the beach or even just the office. Seared scallops would work well in place of shrimp, or you could try a combination of the two. Herbs, too, are up to you: Basil screams summer, but tarragon and Italian parsley would also be nice. White wine is used to make a light sauce for the pasta; you know what to do with any extra.
