Main Ingredients

1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)

4 cloves Garlic (minced)

1 cup Butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 whole Lemon (juiced)

1 tablespoon Parsley (chopped)

1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Pasta (optional)

8 ounces Spaghetti or linguine

Method

Cooking the Pasta (optional)

Boil the Pasta

In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti or linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cooking the Shrimp

Sauté Garlic

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and half of the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

Cook the Shrimp

Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Add Lemon and Remaining Butter

Stir in the remaining butter and the lemon juice. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional minute to meld the flavors.

Finish with Parsley

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Serving

Combine and Serve

If using pasta, add the cooked spaghetti or linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta with the garlic butter sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
