Ingredients:📋 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined Salt and pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth for a milder flavor) 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish) Instructions:🥣 Season the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute). Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and bring to a simmer, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce until well coated. Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley and freshly grated Parmesan, if desired. Serve and Enjoy: This Red Lobster-inspired shrimp scampi is best served over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce!
