Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
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 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and slightly foamy.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, without stirring, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the lemon juice. Mix well to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp, and gently toss.
Serve immediately as an appetizer, or over cooked rice or pasta for a full meal. Enjoy!
