Instructions

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not brown.
Increase heat to medium-high and add shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp to a plate.
Pour white wine into the pan and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping the bottom to release browned bits.
Stir in lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and glossy.
Return shrimp to the pan and toss for 30 seconds to coat in the sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
