Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 unit Lemon, juice and zest
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Reduce the heat to low and add the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine and let the flavors meld for 1 minute.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp. Toss gently to coat.
Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as crusty bread, pasta, rice, or salad.
