Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled, deveined)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup White wine
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 1 serving Cooked linguine or crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse and pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and allow it to melt over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Pour in the white wine, chicken broth, and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.
Stir in the red pepper flakes and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp.
Serve immediately, either over cooked linguine or alongside crusty bread for dipping in the flavorful sauce.
