A delightful shrimp dish cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts.
Using a combination of olive oil and butter prevents the butter from burning while adding flavor.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, stirring occasionally.
Ensure the shrimp are in a single layer for even cooking.
Squeeze in the lemon juice, then add the sherry, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Deglaze the pan with the sherry to incorporate all the flavors.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then remove from heat.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Serve with crusty bread or over pasta to enjoy the sauce.
