Clean the Shrimp
Rinse the fresh shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. If they are not already deveined, use a sharp knife to remove the shells and the vein along the back.
2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
3
Chop the Parsley
Wash and finely chop the fresh parsley leaves. Set aside for garnish.

4
Heat the Oil and Butter
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
5
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
6
Cook the Shrimp
Add the cleaned shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
