### Instructions

1. **Prep the shrimp**
Pat the shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.

2. **Sauté garlic**
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant—don’t let it brown.

3. **Cook the shrimp**
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Stir in red pepper flakes if using.

4. **Finish with lemon and herbs**
Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Give everything a quick toss to coat.

5. **Serve immediately**
Plate over a bed of zucchini noodles, a scoop of cauliflower rice, or a fresh green salad for a full low-carb meal.

### Pro Tips

– **Don’t overcook the shrimp** – They cook quickly and turn rubbery if left too long.
– **Add a splash of white wine** – For a richer sauce, deglaze the pan with a bit of dry white wine before adding the lemon juice.
– **Make it a meal** – Add spinach, asparagus, or mushrooms to the pan for a one-skillet dinner.
