Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring it doesn't brown.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine.
