Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 quarter cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Skewer the marinated shrimp onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp.

Step 5

Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 7

Stir in the white wine and red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 9

Arrange the grilled shrimp on a serving platter and drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the top.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp. Enjoy!
