1
Prepare the Shrimp
Thaw the shrimp if frozen and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
3
Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque.
4
Finish with Butter and Parsley
Reduce the heat to low, add the remaining butter, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Stir gently until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.
5
Serve
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
