1-First: prepare the shrimp by rinsing them under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. This step helps with browning and prevents steaming, leading to a better texture; remember, dry shrimp sear beautifully in the butter. If they’re not already peeled and deveined, do that now, removing tails if you prefer easier eating.

2-Next: mince the 2-3 teaspoons of fresh garlic and chop the 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley ahead of time. Heating a large pan over medium-high heat, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter, watching to avoid browning it. Add the shrimp, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then cook for 3-5 minutes while stirring occasionally until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

3-Once the shrimp are nearly done, stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute to release its aroma. Finally, squeeze in the juice of one lemon and mix in the chopped parsley before serving immediately. This keeps the dish fresh and vibrant, with that zesty finish everyone loves.
