Recipe View Sprinkle with Romano cheese and fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or crusty bread, if desired. (1 minute)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the flour mixture.
Ensure the butter is cold before adding it to the sauce. This helps to create a richer, more stable emulsion.
Do not overcook the shrimp, as they will become rubbery. They are done when they are pink and opaque.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. A sprinkle of extra Romano cheese and fresh parsley adds a final touch of elegance.
