Many scampi recipes involve cooking the shrimp with the other ingredients. You can do that here, too, but the benefit of cooking the shrimp separately is twofold: it's easier not to overcook them, and you can whisk in the butter to create a smooth, emulsified sauce.
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra, if needed
1 ½ pounds (680 g) large shrimp, peeled, deveined and patted dry
Salt and pepper to taste (1/8 tsp. each)
3 garlic cloves, minced
Large pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
½ cup (120 ml) dry white wine
4 tablespoons (55 g) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
1 medium lemon, zested and halved lengthwise, one half cut into wedges
1 small bunch Large handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
