Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.

      Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque.

        Flip the shrimp and add the lemon juice, stirring to coat them in the garlic butter. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked through.

          Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Toss to combine and enhance the flavor.

            Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
