Gather @fresh parsley{3%tbsp} and @black pepper{}.

Pat the @shrimp{600%g} completely dry and season with @salt{1%tsp} and pepper.

Heat the @olive oil{2%tbsp} in a large skillet over high heat until it shimmers.

Add the shrimp in a single layer, in batches if needed, and sear 60–90 seconds per side until just pink and curled. ~{150%seconds}

Lower the heat, push the shrimp to one side, and melt the @butter{40%g} with the @garlic{5%clove} in the cleared space until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Toss the shrimp through the garlic butter, squeeze the @lime{1} over, and cook 30 seconds more.

Scatter with parsley and serve immediately with rice or crusty bread while the shrimp is still hot.
