Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.25 cup chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and sizzle slightly.

Step 3

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 4

Toss in the diced red and yellow bell peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers soften slightly.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side.

Step 6

Flip the shrimp and add chicken broth to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Step 7

Drizzle lemon juice over the shrimp, tossing everything together to coat evenly. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish and give it a final toss.

Step 9

Serve warm, either as-is or over rice, pasta, or alongside crusty bread for dipping.
