Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to combine.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
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.
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.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shrimp with chopped parsley.
Serve the shrimp family-style in the skillet or transfer to a serving dish. Accompany with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
