1
Place a large saute pan over low-medium heat and add olive oil. Heat for 1 minute.
2
Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute, constantly stirring.
3
Add shrimp, and cook thoroughly (all sides should turn pink when cooked), about 3 minutes. Continue to stir as needed.
4
Season the shrimp with the salt and black pepper. (I added some cayenne pepper at this point. I LOVE spicy food!).

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the prepped shrimp to a bowl, leaving any liquid in the pan.

Add the shrimp and toss to combine.

Garnish with parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your nom nom!
