Fact: Juicy shrimp loves a buttery, garlicky white wine sauce. Even more so when brightened with lemon and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. It’s a classic for a reason!

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb.
medium peeled and deveined shrimp (38 to 40)
Kosher salt and pepper
3 Tbsp.
olive oil, divided
3 Tbsp.
unsalted butter, divided
1
shallot, finely chopped
1/2 tsp.
red pepper flakes
4
large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 1/4 cups
dry white wine
2 tsp.
lemon zest plus 4 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp.
flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1Pat shrimp dry, then toss in bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet on medium-high. Add half of shrimp and cook 2 minutes, then flip and cook 1 minute. Transfer to plate (shrimp will finish cooking later). Repeat with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining shrimp.
2. Step 2Reduce heat to medium; add 1 tablespoon butter and remaining tablespoon oil. Add shallot and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Step 3Add wine and simmer, scraping up any browned bits, until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in lemon zest and juice, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and remaining 2 tablespoons butter; simmer until slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Step 4Add shrimp and cook until heated through, 1 minute. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread.
