Out of the Fridge, Into the Frying Pan

Lightly oil a medium sized pan, placing it on low heat and gradually raising the temperature to hot. (Heating oil slowly prevents scorching of oil, and consequently, the food.)
Chop the onion and celery into semi-uniform pieces, and toss them in the pan, stirring occasionally.

Nestle the shrimp between the celery and onions like you would the shell of an egg. Without care and forcefully. Who cares about eggshells?
Enjoy the sizzle of succulent seafood, even if you aren't at a seaside shop that sells seafood. Sprinkle the seasoning you spun up over the shrimp. Enjoy the scent of the spices and the sautéed stuff in your pan.

Hopefully, your pan won't be doing the name of this step, which is smoking. Smoking is horrible for your health and for your taste buds.
Once the shrimp is browned, stir a few times and turn off the heat.
