Garlic Butter Shrimp

Cooked entirely on the stovetop over medium-high heat; no oven needed. Have everything prepped before you start since it cooks in about 3 minutes. Butter must be cold and added off the heat so the sauce emulsifies. Red pepper flakes are optional. Serve over pasta, rice, orzo, or polenta, or with crusty bread. The recipe halves easily; leftovers keep refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.
