  4. Stir in the lemon juice like it’s the star of the show. Bring the shrimp back to the party and toss them around in that mouthwatering sauce until they are coated with love.
  5. Finally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley just to make it look fancy – even if you’re eating it in your pajamas.
