# What You'll Need:
→ Seafood
01 -
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
→ Dairy & Fats
02 -
3 tablespoons salted butter
→ Herbs & Spices
03 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
04 -
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
05 -
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
06 -
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

10 -
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
11 -

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it foams gently. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, avoiding browning.
02 -
Add the shrimp in a single layer. Sprinkle with dried basil, oregano, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir frequently and cook until shrimp turns opaque pink and curls, about 3 to 4 minutes.
03 -
Remove skillet from heat. Pour fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Toss gently to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Remove shrimp promptly to prevent overcooking; residual heat will finish cooking them.

Fresh lemon juice brightens the dish more effectively than bottled alternatives.
