Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 8½ -inch-thick slices crusty bread
  • 1¼ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact
  • ¾ cup dry white wine or low-sodium chicken broth
  • Grated zest and juice of ½ lemon, plus lemon wedges for serving
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh chives
Instructions
  1. Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, ½ teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes and cook 1 to 2 minutes; remove from the heat. Brush both sides of the bread with some of the garlic mixture and arrange on a baking sheet. Broil the bread until toasted, about 1 minute per side. Divide the bread among 4 bowls.
  2. Place the skillet with the remaining garlic mixture over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and toss to coat, then stir in the wine and lemon zest and juice. Cook until the shrimp are just pink. Transfer the shrimp with a slotted spoon to the bowls.
  3. Return the skillet to high heat and boil the cooking liquid until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and chives. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and simmer 1 to 2 more minutes; pour over the shrimp. Serve with lemon wedges.
