Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, then add crushed red pepper flakes if using. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic-butter sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley over the top. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve over linguine, fettuccine, or spaghetti for a complete meal.
- For a non-alcoholic option, substitute chicken broth for the white wine.
- This dish is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
