Shrimp Scampi

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

½ cup dry white wine

¾ teaspoon kosher salt

⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Freshly ground black pepper

500 grams large shrimp, shelled

1/4 cup chopped parsley

Freshly squeezed juice of half a lemon

In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Let wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

Add shrimp and sauté until they just turn pink. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice and serve over pasta or accompanied by crusty bread.
