Steps:

• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat, with the olive oil.
• Add garlic and the de arbol peppers (you can use any dried spicy pepper, like thai, bird's eye, pequin, etc -- ).
• If you like it milder, do not break open the chiles, if you like it hot, break 'em up, I do!
• Before the garlic starts to brown, add the shrimp and cook until no longer pink, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the wine and reduce it for about 3 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked.
• Add the lemon zest and juice, and add the cilantro, stir, and serve immediately.
• You can serve it with fettucini pasta, or on a bed of rucola, for example.
• Sometimes we just make a salad with it and use french bread to mop up the goodness.
