# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat 3 tablespoons of salted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it foams gently. Add the minced garlic and sauté for approximately 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care to avoid browning.

Arrange peeled and deveined shrimp in a single layer in the skillet. Sprinkle evenly with dried basil, oregano, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir frequently and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until shrimp turn opaque pink, curl slightly, and are fully cooked.

Remove the skillet from heat. Immediately drizzle fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Toss gently to coat shrimp evenly with bright, fresh flavors. Serve without delay.
# Helpful Hints:

Removing the skillet promptly after cooking prevents shrimp from becoming tough, as they continue cooking off the heat.
