Ingredients
Scale
1 lb. (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
1 teaspoon (5ml) lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
Begin by peeling and deveining the shrimp, ensuring they are clean and ready for the flavor explosion to come.
In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes (if using). Gently toss the ingredients together, making sure the shrimp are evenly coated with the flavorful marinade.
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt. Carefully add the marinated shrimp to the pan, arranging them in a single layer. Sauté the shrimp for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
As the shrimp sizzle in the pan, season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Once the shrimp are cooked, remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
