Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper.
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.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Skewer the marinated shrimp onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove from the grill and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the white wine and red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Arrange the grilled shrimp on a serving platter and drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the top.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp. Enjoy!
