Step 1

If using frozen shrimp, defrost in the refrigerator overnight. For quick-defrosting, place shrimp in a colander and run cold water over until no longer icy, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Thoroughly drain and pat the shrimp dry using paper towels.

Step 3

In a medium bowl combine shrimp, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Heat a 12-inch skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer.

Step 5

Cook without moving until they turn pinkish on the bottom and just starts to curl, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Quickly flip and cook until pink, translucent, and curled into a loose “C” shape, about 1 minute. Immediately transfer to a serving dish to prevent overcooking.

Step 7

Garnish shrimp with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
