1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large bowl, season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2
Heat the Oil and Butter
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
3
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4
Cook the Shrimp
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink, then flip them over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fully cooked.
5
Add Flavor
Stir in the red pepper flakes and lemon juice, cooking for another minute to combine all the flavors.
6
Garnish and Serve
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
