Ingredients
- 12 oz, peeled and deveined large shrimp
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp, finely chopped fresh dill
- 1 tbsp, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
- Step 1: Pat shrimp dry with paper towels, then dredge each in 1 tbsp flour to coat evenly.
