Over medium high heat, add seasoned shrimp to skillet and cook, until bright pink - about 2 minutes, turning once. Remove from heat and reduce heat. Stir in garlic, green onion, stirring so not to burn, once tender and golden, increase heat and add broth and reduce by half. Stir in butter, parsley, lemon juice and hot sauce.
