- 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice

Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds to release their flavor.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, and season them with salt and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until they're pink and opaque.
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest, making sure the shrimp are well coated in the sauce.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the shrimp and toss gently to combine.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving dish and serve immediately with your favorite sides such as crusty bread, rice, or pasta.
