  • 2 Tbsp. real butter
  • 2-3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced sweet onion
  • 3 to 4 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1-2 Tbsp. chili garlic sauce, or to taste
  • Crushed red pepper, to taste
  • Salt, to taste 
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 lb. shrimp (preferably with heads on for added flavor)
  • 1 lemon, halved
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Cooked jasmine rice
  1. Heat butter and olive oil in an oven-proof skillet. Add sweet onion; cook until translucent, 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic; cook for a couple of minutes, until fragrant. Do not burn or the garlic gets bitter.
  3. Add chili garlic sauce, red pepper, salt and pepper. Cook a couple of minutes; add the stock. Reduce for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the shrimp; place under the broiler. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp; cook until they are pink, another 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Squeeze desired amount of lemon and sprinkle green onions over the shrimp. Serve over rice. Note: Leftover shrimp makes great spring rolls.
