Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined (tails on or off) (450g)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, salt, and black pepper. Toss well.
- Melt the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp, garlic, and red pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in lemon juice and parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- This recipe cooks quickly, so make sure you have all your ingredients measured and ready to go as soon as you start melting the butter in the skillet.
- Shrimp cooks very quickly, so keep a close eye on the skillet! Once the shrimp goes from translucent to opaque, the shrimp is ready.
- Always pat shrimp dry with a paper towel. This will remove excess water to give your shrimp the best possible texture when it goes in the skillet, and it’ll help the seasoning stick better. If the shrimp has moisture on it, it’ll steam instead of sear in the skillet.
- The larger the skillet, the better! If you use a small skillet, the shrimp will steam.
