Broiled Shrimp Scampi

By LaLaCooks

This is a great way to cook with less oil. A broiler heats from the top, so you need very little oil to prevent food from sticking to the cooking surface.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on, patted dry
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Lemon wedges, for serving
