Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. If using shell-on shrimp, peel and devein them. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Chop the Parsley

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

  2. 5

    Cook the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 6

    Add the Shrimp

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

  4. 7

    Cook the Shrimp

    Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
