Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 4 Tbsp butter or ghee
- 1 lb raw shrimp peeled and deviened
- 1 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp onion powder optional
- 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir together the oil and butter. Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, add the shrimp. Cook 2 minutes, flip and cook for another 1 minute. Add the white wine, garlic, lemon zest, onion powder, sea salt and black pepper.
