Instructions: Combine the shrimp with half of the garlic, the hot pepper flakes, juice of half of the lemon, and half of the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste; let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a frying pan until very hot. Add the remaining olive oil and garlic, cook for a moment or two, then reduce the heat and add the shrimp. Saute for a few minutes, turning every so often, until the shrimp turn opaque.

Serve hot, sprinkled with parsley and garnished with the remaining lemon half, cut into wedges for squeezing as desired.
