Garlic Butter Shrimp

Ingredients

• •1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• •4 tbsp butter, divided
• •4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• •1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• •1/2 cup dry white wine
• •1 tbsp lemon juice
• •2 tbsp chopped parsley
• •Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. 1.Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper - removing the moisture first is what lets them sear instead of steam.
2. 2.Melt half the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, watching closely so the garlic doesn't burn.
3. 3.Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until just turning pink.
4. 4.Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, and simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
5. 5.Remove from heat, stir in the remaining butter until melted, then toss with parsley and serve immediately.
