Step 1
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high until it foams and smells nutty, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Step 4
Add shrimp in a single layer. Sear 90 seconds without stirring until they start to pink.
Step 5
Flip shrimp and pour in wine. Cook 2 minutes more until shrimp are opaque throughout.
Step 6
Toast bread slices until golden. Squeeze lemon over shrimp, then serve with bread for dunking.
