Steps

1In a large skillet over low heat add olive oil, red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook for about 3 -5 minutes. Cook the garlic slow so it softens but doesn’t burn.
2Raise the heat to medium/high and add the shrimp. Cook for 5 minutes. Then flip and add the lemon juice and butter. Cook for another 6-8 minutes.
3When the tails slightly curl and the flesh turns white opaque and pink, the shrimp are ready. Add the parsley and a dash of hot sauce just before serving.
4Check for salt and spice then serve.
