Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken or seafood broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the white wine and chicken or seafood broth. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
Stir in the lemon juice and cook for an additional minute to let the flavors meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. This dish pairs well with crusty bread, rice, or pasta.
