• Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the butter melts, add the shallot and sliced garlic. Cook, stirring, until the shallots are slightly soft and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add the white wine, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes. Deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits that have formed on the bottom of the pan. Cook until the harsh alcohol smell burns off and the liquid is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
