→ For Serving
10 -
Cooked pasta or crusty bread for serving
11 -
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium. Toss in minced garlic and red pepper flakes if you like a bit of spice. Stir for about a minute until fragrant but don't let it brown.
02 -
Put the shrimp evenly in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until they’re no longer translucent. Take them off the heat once done so they don’t get chewy, and leave them on a plate nearby.
03 -
Use white wine or chicken broth and pour it into the same pan you cooked the shrimp in. Scrape around the pan to lift up any bits that stuck, then simmer the liquid for a few minutes to let it thicken.
04 -
Turn the heat to low. Mix in the lemon juice and parsley, and sprinkle in just enough salt and black pepper to bring out the flavors. Toss the shrimp back into the pan and coat them well in the sauce.
05 -
Serve the shrimp right away with their sauce poured over pasta or alongside warm, crusty bread. For extra taste, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if you'd like.
