At game, Heat (about a pancake sized circle of) Olive Oil in Frying Pan. Add minced garlic once oil is hot - but not burning or frying. Cut lemon into half, save one half. Take other half of lemon and cut in to quarters, save. Once garlic just starts to brown, throw in all of the shrimp, stir shrimp. Keep stirring to make sure that the shrimp is evenly pink. Once all of the shrimp are opaque and pink, take off heat.


In frying pan of shrimp, add about 1+ tsp salt, juice from the 1/2 lemon and about 2 tsp cayenne pepper. Mix. Transfer to plate, top with parsley, and throw the lemon quarters on the side.
