1. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.
5. Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and add the shrimp to the other side in a single layer. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and black pepper.
6. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
7. Once the shrimp are cooked, mix them together with the mushrooms in the skillet.
8. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, and chopped parsley to the skillet, stirring everything together to coat in the flavorful sauce.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
10. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, serve over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
