The Works
Use a skillet over medium-heat burner. Add a tablespoon of canola oil. Add the shrimp and sear at about 2 minutes, then turn the shrimp, searing the other side for another 2 minutes. Toss with butter, minced garlic, shallot, lemon zest and juice, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Add salt to taste. Serve with the dip.
