Instructions

- Peel and devein the shrimp then pat them dry. Place the flour in a zip lock bag and season with a pinch of garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Add the shrimp and shake to coat them lightly.
- Cook the shrimp by heating the butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side then remove to a plate. The shrimp will finish cooking in the sauce later.
- Make the sauce by adding the minced garlic to the hot skillet and cook. stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
- Add the wine and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, capers, and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.
- Whisk in the cold butter, a piece at a time, until the sauce is smooth and thickened--about 30 seconds.
- Add the cooked shrimp and fresh parsley and toss to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the shrimp is heated through.
- Taste the sauce and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Serve immediately with rice, pasta, or freshly baked bread. Enjoy.
