Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 loaf Crusty bread for serving

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to combine.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until the shrimp turn pink and begin to curl.

Step 5

Flip the shrimp and pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing the shrimp to finish cooking and the liquid to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shrimp with chopped parsley.

Step 7

Serve the shrimp family-style in the skillet or transfer to a serving dish. Accompany with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
