In a small bowl, mix together the garlic lemon mayonnaise ingredients.

Preheat your oven to broil. Place a baking rack at the very top of your oven.
Transfer the shrimp to a large baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Add the lemon slices to the pan. Broil the shrimp for 5 minutes (no more!) then remove them from the oven and immediately add the butter to the tray. Let it melt then squeeze the warm lemon slices over top.
2 tablespoons butter
Sprinkle with some parsley and extra pepper and move them to a serving plate. Serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
1 lemon
Notes
To prep these ahead of time, toss the shrimp in the marinade then lay them (and the sliced lemon) on a baking sheet. Cover the sheet and pop it into your fridge. Make the mayo and keep it covered in your fridge until serving. When you're ready to serve them, uncover the shrimp and broil them for 5 minutes.
