- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (broth)
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt (or to taste)
- 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)

Directions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Add the 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the ½ cup of dry white wine or broth and add the ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes, and plenty of black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let the liquid reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
- Add the 1¾ pounds of peeled shrimp to the skillet. Sauté until they just turn pink and are cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes depending on their size.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the ⅓ cup of chopped parsley and the juice of half a lemon.
- Serve immediately over cooked pasta or with crusty bread for dipping.
