Crevettes Sautées à l'Ail

Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. 1

   Start by preparing the shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them under cold running water for about 5-10 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Chop the parsley and set aside.

3. 3

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.

4. 4

   Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.

5. 5

   Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, turning the shrimp until they are pink and opaque.

6. 6

   Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly reduces.

7. 7

   Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the chopped parsley until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined.

8. 8

   Serve the garlic sautéed shrimp hot, with extra lemon wedges on the side for squeezing, and enjoy with crusty bread for dipping.
