Recipe by Abraham Conlon To get the most out of these garlicky, spicy shrimp from chef Abraham Conlon of Chicago's Fat Rice, serve them with loads of crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Ingredients

2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
1/2 cup Portuguese white wine, such as Vinho Verde
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish

Instructions

Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil with the bay leaves over moderately high heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until just pink, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, tossing, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Carefully add the wine and simmer until the shrimp are white throughout, about 2 minutes longer. Discard the bay leaves. Stir in the 1/2 cup of cilantro and season with salt and black pepper. Transfer the shrimp and their sauce to a large, deep platter, garnish with cilantro and serve.

Why this Spicy Sautéed Shrimp with Garlic and Cilantro works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
