04 - In the same skillet, add remaining butter with white wine or chicken broth. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to cook off alcohol or infuse flavor. Stir in lemon juice and red pepper flakes, blending thoroughly.
05 - Return cooked shrimp to skillet, toss gently to coat in sauce. Heat for 1 additional minute so flavors meld. Garnish with chopped parsley.
06 - Divide shrimp with sauce among serving bowls. Top with fresh parsley and serve alongside warm garlic bread.
