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, peel and devein the shrimp.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

Prepare the Lemon
Cut the lemon in half and juice it, reserving the juice for later. You can also slice half the lemon into wedges for garnish.

Chop the Parsley
Rinse the fresh parsley under cold water, shake off excess moisture, and finely chop it.

5
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the shrimp to the skillet, along with the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

Garnish
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
