Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

¼ cup minced shallot

2 tablespoons minced garlic, divided

½ cup dry white wine

¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

½ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste

1 ½ pounds shrimp, shelled and deveined

4 sprigs fresh thyme

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 ½ cups cooked white rice

6 sprigs fresh thyme for garnish (Optional)

Directions

Combine olive oil and butter in a large, nonstick skillet and melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour in white wine and lemon juice. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes and mix to combine. Bring to a boil and cook for 4 minutes.

Add shrimp and 4 sprigs thyme, and cook until shrimp just begin to change color, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove shrimp from cooking liquid, place on a plate, and set aside.

Continue boiling the liquid until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes.

Return shrimp to the skillet, remove thyme sprigs, and add parsley. Cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes.

Serve shrimp and sauce over hot, fluffy rice. Garnish each plate with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
