6 servings

  • 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 0.25 cup minced shallot
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 0.25 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.125 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1.5 pounds shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1.5 cups cooked white rice
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

  • 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.
