Prepare the shrimp by rinsing them under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.

Chop the garlic finely, releasing its fragrant oils.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Let it warm for about 2 minutes.

Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.

Stir in the chopped garlic and cook for an additional minute or until fragrant.

Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
