Step 1
Pat the 1 lb shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the shrimp in a single layer (do not crowd). Cook without moving until the bottoms turn pink and golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Flip the shrimp, add the 2 minced garlic cloves, and cook until the shrimp are opaque and just cooked through, about 1-2 minutes more.
Step 5
Remove from heat. Squeeze the juice of the 1 lemon over the shrimp and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
