🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
To recreate this seafood favorite, you’ll need:
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4–5 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
Juice of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Cooked pasta or crusty bread, for serving
Grated Parmesan cheese, optional garnish
👩🍳 How to Make It
Prepare the Shrimp
Pat the shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant (don’t let the garlic brown).
Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side, until pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Deglaze the Pan
Pour in the wine and lemon juice. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release all the flavorful bits. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Finish the Sauce
Stir in a final tablespoon of butter and return the shrimp to the pan. Toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve Hot
Serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Garnish with Parmesan if desired.
