A delightful shrimp dish infused with the flavors of garlic, fresh herbs, and a hint of lemon, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp until they turn pink and opaque for the best texture.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp and stir to combine.
Adding the herbs at the end preserves their fresh flavor.
Grate the lemon zest over the shrimp and squeeze in the juice.
Zest the lemon before juicing to make the process easier.
Serve the shrimp immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices.
