Cooking Shrimp:
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the same pan.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper (if using) and cook for 1 minute or until the garlic smells but does not burn.
Add white wine (or chicken broth) and bring to a boil. Let it reduce by half, 3-4 minutes.
Add lemon juice and zest.
Combine shrimp and sauce:
Return the roasted shrimp to the pan and stir in the sauce. Heat for 1 minute.

Preparation:
Serve the prawns with cooked pasta or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Tips:
Wine selection: Use a good dry wine that you enjoy drinking. Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay are good choices that add good acidity to the food.
Avoid overcooking shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly and may become tough during cooking. They turn dark brown after ripening.
