Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc)
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 unit lemon (zested and juiced)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 4 servings crusty bread or cooked pasta (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse and pat dry the shrimp with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and begins to slightly bubble.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook on one side for 2 minutes without moving them to allow for a nice sear.
Flip the shrimp and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the white wine. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook out and the flavors to meld.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Stir gently to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately in shallow bowls with the sauce spooned over the shrimp. Optionally, pair with crusty bread for dipping or toss with cooked pasta for a hearty main course.
