Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink, then flip and add red pepper flakes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked.
