Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side.

Measure the shrimp at the center with a food thermometer; continue cooking until it reaches at least 63°C/145°F.

Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Add the remaining butter and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 30–60 seconds, without browning the garlic.

Sprinkle with grated cheese, if using, and serve immediately.
