Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined, large size)
- 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Butter (unsalted)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0 n/a Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Step 4
Add the olive oil and butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for about 30 seconds until fragrant (be careful not to burn it).
Step 5
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle the mixed seasonings over the shrimp.
Step 6
Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on one side until pink and slightly opaque, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Shrimp is cooked when it is pink all over and curled into a 'C' shape.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the shrimp.
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for garnish and serve immediately.
