Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
- 5 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth, low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 cup White wine (dry, optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional for serving)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Pour in the chicken broth and, if using, the white wine. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, add the lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir and let the sauce reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
Return the shrimp to the skillet to heat through, stirring to coat the shrimp with the sauce.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Optionally, serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.
