SEARED SHRIMP WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

• Finely grate zest of 3 lemons. Juice all 4 lemons; strain juice, and set aside. Place shrimp in a large bowl; add lemon zest, garlic, and 1/4 cup olive oil; toss well to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.

Deglaze pan with 1 1/2 tablespoons reserved lemon juice, stirring up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, and pour pan sauce over shrimp.
