Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the broiler or grill. 

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a sauté pan.  Add the garlic and cook until it just starts to turn brown. Add the shrimp and cook without turning for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright pink.  Turn the shrimp over and cook for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice, and limoncello, and cook until reduced to about 1/3, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
