Ingredients:
– 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
– 4 tablespoons butter

– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– 1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
2. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes.

7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
8. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley
