Instructions

In a large, nonstick pan, melt butter (or heat oil until shimmery if using olive oil) on medium high heat.
Add diced garlic and let brown and become fragrant, stirring often to prevent burning - about 3 minutes.
Cut lime in half, and add the juice and zest of half the lime to the pan.
Stir in shrimp and red pepper flakes, as well as sliced wedges from the other half of the lime.
Let cook until one side of shrimp is pink - about 3 minutes, and stir in cilantro.
Continue to cook on high until pink are just pink and opaque - about another 4 minutes - do not overcook shrimp.
Remove from heat and serve as an appetizer, over pasta, rice, vegetables, or in a taco or wrap!
