Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp and Snow Peas

1

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt and black pepper.

2

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3

Add the snow peas to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted and bubbling, add the shrimp in a single layer.

5

Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

6

Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for just 30 seconds until fragrant.

7

Return the snow peas to the pan, then add the lemon juice and lemon zest. Toss everything together to coat in the sauce.

8

Remove from heat immediately, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
