Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Add 1 pound of fresh, peeled, and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
