Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, if using. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant; do not let the garlic brown.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
  4. Pour in the white wine or broth and lemon juice. Let it simmer for 30 seconds, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh parsley and dried oregano.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Ensure your shrimp are fully thawed and dry before cooking for the best sear.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor profile. Dried herbs will not give the same result.
  • This sauce is perfect for spooning over rice or soaking up with bread.
