Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque. Flip the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the shrimp and sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped parsley. Fold everything gently to combine the flavors.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Pair with crusty bread, pasta, or over rice.
