1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. If they are not already peeled and deveined, do so at this stage.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves to ensure they release their flavor quickly when sautéed.
3
Chop the Parsley
Rinse the parsley under cold water, dry it, and finely chop the leaves, discarding the stems.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
5
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until it becomes fragrant and starts to turn golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.
6
Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
7
Add Parsley
Once the shrimp are cooked, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
8
Serve
Transfer the shrimp in garlic sauce to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley and serve immediately.
