Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold running water. Remove any shells and tails if they are not already cleaned. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.

Mince the garlic cloves finely. Set aside.
3
Heat Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Cook Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5
Add Shrimp
Add the prepared shrimp to the skillet. Stir well to coat the shrimp with the garlic oil.
6
Season Shrimp
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the shrimp. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Cook Shrimp
Cook the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque.
8
Add Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked shrimp. Toss to combine.

Garnish
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the shrimp for garnish.
