For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Can be substituted with avocado oil.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and sauté for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Lower heat to medium-low and add unsalted butter to the skillet. Melt without browning, then add minced garlic, stirring until fragrant for about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in white wine and lemon juice, stirring to deglaze. Increase heat to medium and simmer for 5-7 minutes until reduced by half.
  4. Sprinkle Italian seasoning into the sauce. Return shrimp to skillet, tossing gently to coat and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat, garnish with Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
