1
Prepare the Shrimp
If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry with paper towels.
2
Melt the Butter
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
3
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
4
Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink, then flip them over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5
Season the Shrimp
Once the shrimp are fully cooked, squeeze the lemon juice over them and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Remove the skillet from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
