Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes (julienned)
• 3 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 8 oz angel hair pasta (optional, cooked according to package instructions)
• 2 pieces lemon wedges (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, then season lightly with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes on each side until pink and slightly golden. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the shrimp is heated through.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

If serving with pasta, toss the cooked angel hair pasta with the shrimp and sauce until evenly coated.

Step 10

Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
