– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 teaspoons lemon juice
– ¼ tsp salt

– dash of liquid hot pepper seasoning
Pat Shrimp dry with paper towels; set aside. Melt butter in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Stir in green onion, oil, garlic, lemon juice and salt; cook until bubbly.
Add Shrimp to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until Shrimp turn pink (4-5 minutes). Stir in parsley, lemon peel and hot pepper seasoning.
As Shrimp cook, their color changes from white to pink.
Serve with French bread to dip in the garlicky sauce.
