Ingredients
Group-1
- ½ pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined ( 31-40 per pound)
- ¼ + ⅛ teaspoon salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon pepper, divided
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Group-2
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup finely chopped onion

Instructions
- Toss shrimp with ⅛ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper powder.
- Add olive oil into a 9-inch skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in a single layer, cook for one minute (without disturbing), turn then over and cook for an additional 30 seconds or until cooked. Transfer shrimp onto a plate.
- Place pan back on medium heat, add butter and let it melt. Add onion, garlic and red pepper flakes (group-2). Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often until translucent. Add group-3 ingredients and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Cook until sauce has thickened to your liking, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

I just made this for my family for Valentine’s Day dinner. It was sooooo good!!! I had made roasted garlic Rosemary focaccia a couple nights ago and used that to soak up the sauce. This is a fabulous dish and will definitely be on repeat at our house! Thank you for posting it!!
