Instructions
Step 1
Heat olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté minced garlic and red pepper flakes for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 2
Add shrimp in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper, cooking for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Step 3
Pour white wine into the pan, scraping the bottom. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces by half.
Step 4
Whisk in the remaining 2 tbsp butter and lemon juice constantly to create a silky, emulsified sauce.
Step 5
Return shrimp to the pan and toss for 1 minute to coat thoroughly in the warm garlic butter sauce.
Step 6
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately over pasta or with crusty bread.
