Ingredients
Instructions
In a large skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat. Add olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes and stir for 1 minute.
Add wine or broth, salt, black pepper and bring to a simmer for 2 minutes.
Add shrimp and lemon zest, saute until they are opaque but still al dente- about 2-4 minutes (adjust according to the size of shrimp you use). They will continue to cook as you take them off the heat.
Turn off heat. Toss in parsley and fresh lemon juice to taste.
Serve with crusty bread, over angel hair pasta(cappellini) or linguine or zucchini noodles.
