Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons White wine (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, fresh and chopped
• 1 whole Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, white wine (if using), red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Pour the butter mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 5

Broil the shrimp for 6-8 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are pink, opaque, and slightly caramelized on the edges. Monitor closely to avoid overcooking.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp.

Step 7

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of acidity. Pair with crusty bread, pasta, or rice, if desired.
