Equipment

1 Grill, frying pan, skillet, cast iron skillet or griddle

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 lemon wedges (optional)

Instructions

In bowl, combine raw shrimp, olive oil and seasonings of choice (salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning).
In frying pan/skillet/cast iron pan, heat oil on medium/high heat.
Add enough shrimp to the pan so they are not touching (you don’t want to steam the shrimp).
Cook until edges turn pink (approx. 1-2 minutes).
Flip and cook for another approx. 1-2 minutes (you want to get a nice char on each side).
Pull one shrimp and cut in thickest part to test doneness. The shrimp should have turned from translucent to opaque.
Cook any remaining shrimp.
Serve and drizzle with fresh lemon juice if desired.
