Spicy Garlic Shrimp - cooking recipe

Ingredients

24 medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
4 garlic cloves, pressed
3 whole chiles de arbol
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
1/2 glass white wine
1/2 lemon, juice and zest of

Preparation

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat, with the olive oil.
Add garlic and the de arbol peppers (you can use any dried spicy pepper, like thai, bird's eye, pequin, etc -- ).
If you like it milder, do not break open the chiles, if you like it hot, break 'em up, I do!
Before the garlic starts to brown, add the shrimp and cook until no longer pink, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the wine and reduce it for about 3 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked.
Add the lemon zest and juice, and add the cilantro, stir, and serve immediately.
You can serve it with fettucini pasta, or on a bed of rucola, for example.
Sometimes we just make a salad with it and use french bread to mop up the goodness.
