Directions

Step 1

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

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together until the butter is fully melted and combined with the oil.

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in an even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side.

Step 6

Flip the shrimp over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook.
