- 1 ½ pounds large shrimp
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

- Saute the garlic. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.
- Cook the shrimp. Add the shrimp to the skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Add lemon juice and parsley. Remove the shrimp from the heat, and stir in the lemon juice and parsley.

Notes
- Let the shrimp cook completely before storing it in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
- Place cooled shrimp in a freezer-safe container bag, removing as much air as possible. They will stay good for up to 3 months.
- Avoid using the microwave as it can make shrimp tough. Instead, warm the shrimp in a skillet over low heat with a little extra butter or olive oil, until heated through.
- To store in the fridge: Let the shrimp cook completely before storing it in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
- To freeze for later: Place cooled shrimp in a freezer-safe container bag, removing as much air as possible. They will stay good for up to 3 months.
- Reheating tip: Avoid using the microwave as it can make shrimp tough. Instead, warm the shrimp in a skillet over low heat with a little extra butter or olive oil, until heated through.
- When it comes to shrimp, do your best to not overcook them. That's when they become rubbery.
