Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes more as needed
  • 1 pound large shrimp cleaned, de-veined and shelled
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or chives or cilantro
  • 1 lemon juiced, plus more as needed

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, a pinch of salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Let wine cook down for about 2 minutes.
  • Add shrimp and sauté until they just turn pink, 3 to 5 minutes depending upon their size. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice. Toss to combine. Remove from heat and season with salt and extra pepper as needed.
