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.
