Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tbsp (57g) Unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Olive oil
  • 4 cloves (12g) Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) Red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp (8g) Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) Black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear. Season lightly with salt and black pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat until the butter is bubbling.
  3. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan once they turn opaque and a soft pink color, then set aside on a plate.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley, then return the shrimp to the pan for 30 seconds to glaze them in the sauce.
