Directions
- Sauté the Garlic in Style: In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. The sizzling butter and garlic create a flavor-packed base that will coat the shrimp beautifully.
- Add the Shrimp with Swagger: Toss in the shrimp and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink, opaque, and perfectly juicy. Avoid overcooking, as shrimp can become rubbery quickly.
- Bring on the Lemon Love: Just before removing the skillet from heat, stir in lemon juice and lemon zest. The fresh citrus brightens the dish, balancing the richness of the butter and garlic.
- Garnish & Toss: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the shrimp and toss gently to coat evenly. The fresh herbs add both color and an aromatic finish that elevates every bite.
- Serve & Savor: Serve the shrimp immediately with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the buttery sauce. This easy, elegant dinner is perfect for weeknights or a casual dinner party.
