1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

6. Add Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque.

8. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
