Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 lemon wedges (for garnish)
- 1 loaf crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat dry with paper towels, and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and stir until melted.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let it brown.
If using, add the red chili flakes and stir for 30 seconds to release their flavor.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
Reduce the heat to medium and carefully pour in the white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to cook off some of the alcohol and reduce slightly.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the shrimp and toss gently to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the shrimp and sauce to a serving dish.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for garnish and crusty bread to soak up the sauce, if desired.
