Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine

Instructions

  • Cook the Shrimp:

    • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Stir in shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  • Make the Sauce:

    • Add red pepper flakes (if using), white wine, and lemon juice.
    • Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

  • Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh cilantro, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.

  • Tropical Flavor: Substitute olive oil with coconut oil for a richer, tropical taste.
  • Spicy Kick: Adjust the heat level by adding more red pepper flakes or chili sauce.
