Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 Lemon (zested and juiced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the shrimp. Ensure they are peeled and deveined, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque. Flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Add the lemon zest and juice to the skillet, stirring to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp.
Serve immediately while hot. This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or a slice of toasted crusty bread to soak up the garlic lemon sauce.
