Instructions
- Clean and de-vein shrimps if they aren’t already cleaned. Leave the tail on if you prefer. Pat the shrimp dry.
- Melt butter and olive oil in a pan.
- Sauté finely minced garlic in the butter-olive oil mix. I always prefer to sauté garlic in oil, as it releases all its wonderful flavors into the oil. Do not brown garlic. Simply sauté until the garlic is fragrant. Alternatively – use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic.
- Add cleaned shrimps to the pan.
- Add salt, pepper, and red chili flakes.
- Stir well.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp is pink in color.
- Flip and cook the shrimp for another minute.
- Turn off the heat. Add butter and lemon juice. Stir to melt butter.
- Do not overcook shrimp.
- Adjust salt and pepper if it needs extra seasoning.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve saucy shrimp with pasta or over a bed of rice.
