Cook the Shrimp:

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.

Combine and Serve:

Return the cooked salmon to the skillet and squeeze lemon juice over the top.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
