How to make it

In a small bowl combine the shrimp, garlic, salt, cayenne, and olive oil.

Over medium heat, in a small pan, melt the butter.

Don't get the pan too hot. If it's too hot you'll burn the garlic, boil off the yummy shrimp flavor, and probably overcook the shrimp.

As soon as the butter melted, add the shrimp.

Let them simmer on one side until they're done half way through and then turn them and cook till done., 3 minutes total.

Just before the shrimp are just done add the sherry, lemon zest, parsley, and lemon juice.

Stir everything together and cook for a few seconds more. At this point they are ready to serve.
