1 tablespoon garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 pound of butter

1/4 cup white wine

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon red chili flakes

6. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer.

7. Place the tails back in the pan and let simmer for an additional three to four minutes.
