Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.25 cup Dry white wine
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 loaf French baguette (sliced and toasted)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
To the same skillet, add the butter and melt it over medium heat.
Stir in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the shrimp and sauce with slices of toasted baguette for dipping. Enjoy!
