4: Drizzle the butterflied shrimp with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5: For grilling, place the shrimp on grill grates or skewers and grill for approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
6: For pan-cooking, add oil to the heated skillet and cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side.
7: In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat and stir in Old Bay seasoning.
8: Once the shrimp are cooked, drizzle the melted butter mixture over them.
9: Serve immediately while hot and squeeze fresh lemon wedges over the shrimp.
