Ingredients

4 servings

1 ½ lb large shrimp (21–25 count), peeled and deveined, tails on or off
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient note
Dried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp red pepper flakes

1 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
5 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup dry white wine broth or chicken broth
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

For serving

lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the shrimp thoroughly dry with paper towels, then toss with the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until evenly coated.
2
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the foam subsides. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 1 to 1½ minutes, until the undersides are pink and lightly golden. Flip with tongs and cook for 30 to 60 seconds more, until the shrimp are opaque throughout and just curled into a loose C-shape. Transfer to a plate.
