  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with olive oil.
  3. Add garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
