Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 unit large lemon, juiced and zested
- 0.25 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 loaf crusty bread for serving (optional)
Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside on a plate.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir until the butter is fully melted and the sauce is well combined.
Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping into the buttery sauce, or over rice or pasta if desired.
