For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine along with the lemon juice. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. They are done when they turn pink and opaque. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
