- Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan or skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds to 1 minute). Then add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sauté for 1-2 minutes on one side (until just beginning to turn pink), then flip.
- Pour in wine (or broth) and add red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes or until the wine reduces by about half and the shrimp is cooked through (don't over cook your shrimp).
- Stir in the remaining butter, lemon juice, and parsley and take off heat immediately.
- Serve over rice, pasta, garlic bread, or steamed vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini noodles).

Note
- Use a good quality white wine. I use a Sauvignon Blanc when cooking this recipe. You can also use a Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay.
- Have all of your ingredients ready on your kitchen bench and close to your cooking area if possible. This recipe cooks FAST.
- • To prevent the butter from burning, cook the shrimp in a butter/oil mixture. You can use all butter, but it will brown while the shrimp cook.
