Creating Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp is a simple yet rewarding process. Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Rinse and Prep Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

2. Melt Butter and Oil: In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté it for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

4. Add Shrimp: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re pink and opaque.

5. Spice It Up: Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, and stir in the soy sauce and lemon juice. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the shrimp to absorb the flavors.

6. Season: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.

7. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.

8. Serve Immediately: Arrange the shrimp on a serving platter, ensuring to drizzle any remaining sauce over them.
