Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0 Cooked pasta or crusty bread (to serve)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, then sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let the liquid simmer for about 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Serve immediately over cooked pasta or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
