Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with the seasoning.

Place the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and spread them out evenly in the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes and quickly turn the shrimp.

Add the garlic and capers to the pan and cook for 30 seconds.

Add the wine, lemon juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet and cook for 1 1/2 minutes.

Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper and add the pasta (or whatever you’re topping), tossing to coat well. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the parsley. Serve hot. Enjoy!

Personal Notes:
This has been a go to dish for a long time. It's easy and quick and delicious. While you can do it over pasta, if you are trying to eat healthier, you can do it over zoodles, broccoli and it is just as amazing.
