Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, about 1/4 cup)
11 -
Serve alongside warm pasta or crusty bread
# Instructions:
01 -
In a big pan, heat up olive oil and butter over medium heat. Toss in the garlic and a bit of red pepper flakes, cooking for about a minute until fragrant but not browned.
02 -
Place your shrimp into the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook for roughly 2 minutes per side. They’re done once they turn pink all the way through! Don’t leave them in too long or they’ll get rubbery. Move the cooked shrimp onto a plate and set aside.
03 -
Pour in the wine (or broth) to loosen up the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Bring it to a simmer, letting it cook down for 2–3 minutes until it lightly thickens.
04 -
Turn the heat to low, then mix in the lemon juice and parsley. Season with a bit of salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp back in and gently coat them in the sauce. Let them warm for about a minute or two.
05 -
Serve right away. Pour the shrimp and sauce over pasta or pair with crusty bread. Just before digging in, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top if you’d like.
