Servings: 4
Calories: 190kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
- 6-8 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp caper brine
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 3 tbsp butter cut into cubes
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over high heat.
- Add the olive oil and red pepper flakes and allow the spice to infuse into the oil for 30 seconds.
- Add the shrimp to the pan and spread it out so it cooks evenly. Cook for about 1 minute flipping as needed.
- Add the garlic, lemon juice, and caper brine to the skillet and let cook for 1 minute.
- Add 1/2 of the parsley along with the cubes of butter and swirl the pan so butter starts to melt slowly, about 2-3 minutes. As the butter melts it should start forming a thick type of sauce
- Add the remaining parsley and stir to combine.
- The shrimp should be opaque and cooked through.
- If the sauce starts to thicken too much, you can remove the shrimp to a serving dish and add a teaspoon of water to help thin it out to a pour-able consistency.
- Keep in mind that this recipe creates just enough sauce to coat the shrimp.
