Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and black pepper.
Lightly coat the shrimp in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until the butter has melted and starts to bubble.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the lemon juice and red pepper flakes (if using), and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir until the butter melts and combines with the sauce.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Let them heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley and garnish with lemon slices before serving.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, rice, or pasta, allowing the shrimp and sauce to shine.
