Notes
Marinate for More Flavor: Soak the shrimp in olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice for 15 minutes before coating to enhance the taste.
Use a Cast-Iron Skillet: A cast-iron pan gives the shrimp a perfect golden crust and deeper flavor.
Add Garlic in Stages: Save some garlic to add at the last minute for a fresh, bold garlic kick.
