In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds.

Gently place the shrimp in the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.

Sprinkle salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir gently to combine.

Just before serving, toss in chopped parsley for freshness.
