Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.33 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the butter and let it melt.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for 2 minutes on one side without moving them.
Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
Pour in the white wine and fresh lemon juice, deglazing the pan by scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shrimp with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or pasta to soak up the sauce.
