Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ cup broth seafood, vegetable, or chicken
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or to taste
  • 1 ½ pounds large shrimp peeled with the tails on
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped, plus more for serving
  • 1 lemon juiced, plus more wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or cast iron skillet set over medium heat, melt the butter together with the olive oil. Add in the garlic and sauté it until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the broth, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and bring it to a simmer for 1-2 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Add in the shrimp and sauté them for 3-4 minutes until they just turn pink.
  • Stir in the parsley and lemon juice and remove the skillet from the heat. Serve with more lemon wedges (over pasta, or with crusty bread.)

Notes

  • The shrimp is fully cooked when they turn pink and opaque all the way through in a loose "C" shape. They cook quickly, so keep a close eye on the skillet!
  • Serve it immediately once it's done cooking so the shrimp is hot and tender while the sauce coats everything just right!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat any leftovers by gently warming the shrimp in a pan over medium heat.
