Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until pink. Move them to a plate.
Lower the heat to medium. Melt the butter in the skillet, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
Return the shrimp to the pan with the lemon juice and parsley. Toss for 30 seconds until coated and heated through.

Cook's tips

Shrimp are done when they turn pink and curl into a loose “C” shape — a tight “O” means overcooked.
Frozen shrimp work well; thaw them overnight in the refrigerator.
