1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. This helps to remove any excess moisture and ensures the shrimp can properly absorb the seasoning.
2
Season the Shrimp
In a mixing bowl, combine the coarsely crushed black peppercorns, salt, and minced garlic. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to get hot but not smoking, which will help to create a nice sear on the shrimp.
4
Cook the Shrimp
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
5
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
