Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure that they are peeled and deveined.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or garlic press.
3
Chop the Parsley
Wash and dry the fresh parsley, then chop it finely.

4
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn.

Add the prepared shrimp to the skillet. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Once the shrimp are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Squeeze in the lemon juice and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp. Toss everything together to combine.
