Instructions
In a large skillet or non-stick frying pan melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and seasoning (salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning) and saute for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Turn the shrimp and add minced garlic, then continue to saute for 1-2 minutes until the shrimp are pink and no longer translucent.
Add the lemon juice and stir to coat the shrimp. Serve immediately garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
If your pan cooks hot, keep a close eye on the butter to make sure it doesn't burn. Or use a teaspoon of olive oil with the butter for sauteing the shrimp.
I like to use large shrimp (16-20 count size) or the jumbo/colossal shrimp (13-15 count size) packages of shrimp.
