Cooking Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, add the shrimp in batches, seasoning with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and lemon juice. Stir continuously, then pour in the white wine to deglaze, scraping browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced and fragrant.
- Remove from heat and incorporate the butter into the sauce until melted, creating a creamy lemon garlic butter sauce.
- Return the cooked shrimp and capers to the skillet, reheating gently over low heat for a minute until warmed through.
- Garnish with lemon zest and fresh basil, drizzling with additional lemon juice to taste before serving.

Notes
For a creamier sauce, consider adding a splash of heavy cream after deglazing the pan.
