Cooking Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, allowing it to shimmer before adding any ingredients.
  2. Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until it's fragrant and lightly golden.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque before flipping them over to cook the other side.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Stir gently to coat the shrimp evenly in all that delicious garlic butter.
  5. Finish by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and tossing in chopped parsley.
