Cooking Instructions

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.
