Notes

Use large shrimp (21-25 count per pound) or larger. They cook quickly and are more substantial.
If you have time, allow the shrimp time to marinate in the salt, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and soy sauce for 15-20 minutes before cooking to infuse intense flavor into the shrimp.
Preheat the pan. Allow the skillet or griddle time to heat before adding any ingredients.
Do not overcrowd the pan. If you need to cook the shrimp in batches, do it because it will prevent the shrimp from steaming instead of searing.
Serve the shrimp immediately after cooking. This is not a good recipe to make in advance.
