Add 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat.

Swirl the skillet to combine the butter and olive oil.

Add 4 minced garlic cloves to the pan and saute for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine and add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by half for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add 1.5 pounds of large or jumbo shrimp to the skillet and saute for about 3 minutes until they are fully pink and opaque.

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the shrimp and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

For plating, prepare steamed cauliflower and mix with sauteed garlic, olive oil, chopped parsley, chives, salt, and pepper. Blend if necessary for a creamier texture.

Spoon the cauliflower mash onto a plate and add shrimp on top, drizzling with lemon garlic butter sauce.

Alternatively, mix leftover shrimp with zucchini noodles or regular spaghetti noodles, tossing everything together before serving.
