Scale

- 60 g butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 60 ml lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)

- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt – to taste
- Black pepper – to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
