Method
- 1Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 2Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- 3Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the white wine (or chicken broth), lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
- 4Return the Shrimp: Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the shrimp are heated through and well coated with the sauce.
- 5Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor. This dish pairs perfectly with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
