Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the unsalted butter and olive oil to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Cook for 1 minute without stirring, then flip the shrimp and cook for another 30 seconds, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the dry white wine and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the shrimp in the sauce, and let it simmer for 30 seconds.
