How to Make Incredibly Good Shrimp

  1. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the hot skillet. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 pound of shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until pink and opaque, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup of dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  7. Stir in the zest of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
