This is a great cookbook, from The Soprano's Family Cookbook:

Serves 2
4 TBSP. unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, minced
16 large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Pinch of salt
2 TBSP. very finely chopped Italian parsley
plus a fewsprigs for garnish
1 TBSP. fesh lemon juice
Lemon wedges

In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium-low heat. When the butter foam subsides, stir in the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly golden, about 7 minutes. Do not let the garlic brown.

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp and salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, turning the shrimp once, until they are just pink. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice and cook 1 minute more.

Serve garnished with lemon wedges and parley sprigs.
