Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with the salt and black pepper. Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, until the undersides are pink and lightly golden. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more, until the shrimp are opaque throughout and curled into a loose C-shape. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
