A delightful shrimp dish infused with garlic and herbs, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking of the shrimp.
Sprinkle the lemon zest over the shrimp and mix well.
Zest the lemon directly over the skillet to capture the aromatic oils.
