Instructions

Prepare the shrimp:
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the butter and oil:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Cook the shrimp:
- Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Make the garlic sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until slightly reduced.
Combine the shrimp and sauce:
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, if using. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Finish and serve:
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve immediately over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Notes

For extra richness, stir in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream before adding the shrimp back to the skillet.
Substitute white wine with a splash of apple cider vinegar or more chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
