Instructions

In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, a pinch of salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Let wine cook down for about 2 minutes.
Add shrimp and sauté until they just turn pink, 3 to 5 minutes depending upon their size. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice. Toss to combine. Remove from heat and season with salt and extra pepper as needed.

Notes

Buy shrimp that’s already been peeled and deveined – it makes it so much easier to prep. Up to you if you want the tail on – but I find it makes for a prettier presentation!
There’s nothing wrong with buying “fresh” or frozen shrimp! Most shrimp has been frozen previously even if it’s being sold thawed. Either works great. Just be sure that when you’re cooking frozen shrimp, you let it really thaw out before putting it over any heat.
