A delightful shrimp dish infused with garlic and butter, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated before adding the oil to prevent sticking.
Add the garlic and cook gently until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir the garlic constantly to ensure even cooking and to release its aroma.
Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and stir to combine.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp, seasoning lightly with salt.
Cook the shrimp in a single layer for even cooking and a nice sear.
Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque, turning them halfway through.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for about a minute to reduce slightly.
Allow the alcohol to cook off to enhance the flavor without overpowering the dish.
Squeeze in the lemon juice and add the butter, stirring until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor and balance.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Serve the dish hot to enjoy the flavors at their peak.
