1/4 tsp salt and black pepper, or to taste
1 T. olive oil
3 T. lime juice

Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper. Place a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 3 minutes total, turning once halfway. Sauté just until cooked through then remove from the pan.
