4 Teaspoons Olive Oil

1 1/4 pounds medium Shrimp, peeled (tails left on) and deveined

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil.  Saute' the shrimp until just pink, 2-3 minutes.  Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly.  With slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a platter; keep hot.

In the skillet, combine the broth, lemon juice, 1/4 cup parsley, the salt and pepper; bring to a boil.  Boil uncovered, until the sauce is reduced by half; spoon over the shrimp.  Serve, garnished with the lemon slices and sprinkled with the remaining tablespoon of parsley.
