Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp and mix everything together until the shrimp are coated with the seasonings.

Preheat a pan on the stove.

Add a cooking oil of your choice to the hot pan.

Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp to the pan and spread them out evenly using tongs.

Add butter to the pan after the shrimp to prevent burning.

Flip the shrimp once you see a little color around the edges, being careful not to overcook them as they can become rubbery.

Add fresh chopped garlic to the pan after the shrimp and butter to cool down the pan and prevent the butter from burning.

Add scallions for color and optional flavor.

Finish with a little bit of parmesan cheese for extra flavor (optional).

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish before serving.
