Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 Lemon (zested and juiced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the shrimp. Ensure they are peeled and deveined, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Step 5

Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque. Flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Step 6

Add the lemon zest and juice to the skillet, stirring to coat the shrimp in the sauce.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp.

Step 8

Serve immediately while hot. This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or a slice of toasted crusty bread to soak up the garlic lemon sauce.
