Shrimp Scampi

When you're craving a vacation and all you can do is transport yourself through food. Really missing Hawaii these days so I made a wannabe version of Giovanni's Shrimp Truck specialty. Fair warning: it's not for dieters.

Add shrimp in a layer (divide if needed), sprinkle some salt and cook for a few minutes. Flip, sprinkle salt again and squeeze juice of a full lemon and cook for a few more minutes.

Serve with rice, lemon wedges and pour butter and garlic from the pan all over.
