Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over high heat until it foams and subsides. Add shrimp in a single layer — do not stir for 1–2 minutes until the bottoms turn pink and golden. Flip and cook 30–60 seconds more. Shrimp are done when they form a 'C' shape; overcooking turns them into an 'O'. Remove immediately and set aside.

  2. 2

    In the same skillet, add remaining butter over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and bell peppers. Stir-fry 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp and starting to char at the edges. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Return shrimp to the pan. Add soy sauce and lemon juice, tossing everything together for 30 seconds. The sauce should coat everything in a glossy sheen. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve over rice with fresh parsley. The entire dish cooks in under 15 minutes — have everything prepped before you start as the cooking is very fast.
