  • Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs enhances their flavor and makes them more tender.
  • Use Fresh Lemon and Pepper: Freshly squeezed lemon juice and cracked black pepper provide the best flavor. Avoid using bottled lemon juice or pre-ground pepper.

  • Serve Immediately: Lemon pepper shrimp are best served immediately after cooking, while they are hot and crispy.
