Gamberetti alla Salvia (Shrimp in Sage)

Rinse shrimp in cold water and then dry off in paper towel.

Heat the olive oil in a heavy pan at medium temperature.  Sauté the sage leaves for two minutes.  Add the shrimp, cover the pan and simmer for two more minutes. Remove the cover; add salt and pepper and lower heat. Let shrimp simmer without cover for two more minutes.

Garnish shrimp with sage and serve on a warm plate.
