Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
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.
In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, white wine (if using), red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring they are well coated.
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.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of acidity. Pair with crusty bread, pasta, or rice, if desired.
