Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
• 5 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth, low-sodium
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.25 cup White wine (dry, optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and, if using, the white wine. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Once simmering, add the lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir and let the sauce reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Return the shrimp to the skillet to heat through, stirring to coat the shrimp with the sauce.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Optionally, serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.
