Cook the Garlic:

• Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic in the butter for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn, as this could make it taste bitter. The garlic should turn a light golden brown.

Add Shrimp to the Pan:

• Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until they begin to turn pink. Then, flip each shrimp over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until they are fully cooked and opaque.

Add Lemon and Parsley:

• Once the shrimp is cooked through, add fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley. Stir everything together, making sure the shrimp is evenly coated with the garlic butter sauce. This last step brightens up the dish and adds a pop of freshness.

Serve:

• Transfer the shrimp to a serving plate and pour the garlic butter sauce over the top. Garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve immediately with a side of rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
