Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb medium fresh or frozen raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (thawed if using frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons thyme

Instructions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and all of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  2. When the butter stops bubbling, add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes. Flip shrimp, add garlic, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is pink and opaque.
  3. Add white wine and the remaining butter. Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 more minutes, until slightly reduced.
