Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the olive oil and stir well to combine.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and softened, but not browned.
Pour in the dry white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Continue cooking the sauce for another 1-2 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the sauce. Stir gently to incorporate.
Serve immediately by tossing with freshly cooked shrimp, pasta, or use as a dipping sauce for crusty bread. Enjoy!
