  4. Heat olive oil and unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts and starts to foam.
  5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  6. Add the floured shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for 2 minutes without moving to form a crispy crust.
  7. Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle fresh lemon juice over the shrimp.
  9. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top and toss gently to combine all flavors.
  10. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
