Garlicky Shrimp

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds cooked small bay shrimp, thawed
• 2 scallions, sliced
• Kosher salt
• Sliced bread, for serving

Preparation

1. Heat the oil, butter, garlic, and red pepper in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until soft (do not let the garlic brown), 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add the shrimp, scallions, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and toss to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature with the sliced bread. (The shrimp can be made 8 hours in advance and refrigerated; bring to room temperature or reheat before serving.)
