Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 6 tbsp butter divided
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine optional
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. **Sear shrimp.** Heat 2 tbsp butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Pat shrimp dry. Season with salt and pepper. Sear 90 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate.
  2. **Garlic.** Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook 60 to 90 seconds until fragrant.
  3. **Deglaze.** Pour in white wine (if using) and lemon juice. Simmer 2 minutes.
  4. **Combine.** Return shrimp to the pan. Toss with lemon zest and parsley.
  5. **Season.** Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  6. **Serve.** Serve immediately over cauliflower rice or zoodles with sauce spooned over.

Notes

Use fresh shrimp or thoroughly thawed frozen. Wet shrimp do not sear. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels before cooking. Dry shrimp brown better. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Shrimp gets rubbery after that.
