Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the butter and olive oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Flambé with Cognac

    Carefully add the Cognac to the skillet. Allow it to ignite with a long lighter or match. Let the flames subside as the alcohol burns off and enhances the flavor.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Once the flames have gone out, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
