Heat a very large nonstick pan over medium heat. When hot cook the shrimp in two batches (in a single layer) – adding 1 teaspoon olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.
- Cook the shrimp 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through.
- When cooked, transfer to a large plate and repeat with the remaining oil, flour and shrimp reserving the remaining flour.
Place the chicken broth in a mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon of the flour and whisk. Add the juice from 1 lemon.
To the skillet add 2 teaspoons of the Calabrian chili oil and add the garlic, cook 30 seconds, over medium heat until fragrant.
- Add the Calabrian chili peppers and white wine.
- Cook to reduce by half, then add the broth, bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes so it reduces slightly and thickens. Add the butter and let it melt.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and mix well, cook 30 to 60 seconds more to heat through.
- Remove from heat and squeeze the remaining juice from the half lemon on top. Finish with parsley and enjoy!
