Instructions
- Add olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the butter and allow to melt. Use a wooden spoon or utensil to slowly combine with the oil. Add the garlic and saute 1 - 2 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
- While remaining on medium-high heat, add the wine to deglaze, gently rubbing the bottom of the pan with your wooden utensil. Add in the lime juice, oregano, and cumin. Stir to combine. Add in a dash of hot sauce and stir once again.
- Add the prepared shrimp to the pan and saute 4 - 5 minutes, or until they turn pink in color. Flip the shrimp halfway through cooking.

Notes
Storage: Store the garlic shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge. Make sure to use or toss within 3 - 4 days.
Reheat: Reheat the shrimp by placing them in a covered skillet over low heat (add a little butter or olive oil if it seems dry). Heat until fully warmed through, and then immediately take it off of the heat so the shrimp don't overcook.
