1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure they are peeled and deveined.
2
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
3
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4
Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
5
Add Lemon and Butter
Once the shrimp are cooked through, add the lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it cook for another minute.
6
Garnish and Serve
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top. Serve immediately with crusty bread or over pasta, if desired.
