GARLIC-SAUTéED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat butter and oil in the pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add crushed red pepper, salt and the shrimp stock. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
• Arrange the reserved shrimp in the pan in a single layer. Cook until pink and curled, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add lemon juice and parsley and toss gently to combine. Transfer the shrimp to a warm platter or bowl. Serve with lemon wedges and more parsley, if desired.
