Ingredients

4 servings

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or butter)
1 ½ lbs shrimp (peeled and deveined)
¼ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp fresh ground black pepper
¼ tsp crushed red pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice (plus lemon wedges, for serving)
fresh parsley (chopped (for garnish))

Instructions

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure they sear properly.
Toss shrimp with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper.
Place a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add ½ tablespoon olive oil or butter and allow it to heat until shimmering. Add half of the shrimp to the pan in single layer.
Let the shrimp cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until they start to turn pink and form a golden crust on the bottom. Flip the shrimp and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until fully cooked. The shrimp should be opaque and have a nice sear.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with the second batch and the remaining ½ tablespoon oil and shrimp.
After second batch is done, add the first batch to the pan and toss to combine. Remove from heat. Squeeze in the lemon juice and toss the shrimp to coat them in the sauce.
Remove the shrimp from the pan and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
